Could Trump’s next round of tariffs trigger a property crash in New Zealand?
In this urgent episode, we talk with Nick Tuffley, Chief Economist at ASB, to analyse the potential fallout from a 2025 US-led global trade war—and what it means for your mortgage, house price, and investing strategy here in NZ.
🎯 Here’s what we unpack:
What Trump’s 2025 tariffs could do to NZ’s $16B export market
The connection between global trade wars and NZ mortgage rates
How a construction slowdown and tariff impact could collide
Will inflation spike or settle — and what will RBNZ do?
Should you buy property now or wait?
🧠 Whether you're a first home buyer, seasoned investor, or just trying to understand how global policy can punch you in the Kiwi wallet, this is the episode you can’t afford to miss.
📈 NZ is still navigating the aftershocks of a 2024 recession. If Trump’s trade war kicks off, everything from GDP to housing could be hit. Don’t get blindsided—get informed.
