Thursday's Budget is being illed as 'grown-up' with no lolly scrambles under a cloud of tough choices ahead. But with rising mortgage costs and stubborn inflation, will the Government deliver something people can actually feel in their wallets? Liam Dann and Tamsyn Parker unpack what’s been revealed ahead of Budget day and what might still be hiding in the numbers.

Plus, are mortgage holders already trapped by rising rates, and is AI becoming a convenient excuse for job cuts?

The Economy of Everything is brought to you by NZ Herald in partnership with CMC Markets.
