AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoCricket (Trent Bridge): New Zealand won the toss and chose to bat first in the series-deciding Test against England, but their build-up was hit hard by injuries: Matt Henry (calf) and Glenn Phillips (side strain) are out, with Mitchell Santner, Blair Tickner and Ben Sears coming in as England recall Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson. Housing & economy: Stats NZ data points to a cautious lift in the labour market and steadier living-cost pressure, while home consents keep rising; in markets, the NZX 50 bounced as exporters gained support and rate expectations cooled. Housing finance policy: Labour is pushing a Crown guarantee to cut borrowing costs for community housing providers via the CHFA, aiming to turn financing savings into more homes. UAE travel rules: The UAE expanded visa-on-arrival to eligible passport holders from Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Kenya and South Africa, including families with qualifying residence permits that cover New Zealand. Business & tech: Ora Pharm’s purchase of Helius sets up a larger integrated medicinal cannabis operation, while NZ firms are still struggling to prove AI’s value beyond cost savings. Science & environment: Fiordland researchers report a massive 300–400-year-old black coral, among the largest ever recorded in Aotearoa.
