Liam Dann: NZ Herald business editor at large on collective household net worth dropping $42.7 billion
New Zealanders are getting less wealthy and saving less money, according to new Stats NZ data.
The region's collective household net worth dropped $42.7 billion or 1.9 per cent, in the March 2023 quarter.
The data shows the value of financial assets also fell, by $8.3 billion.
NZ Herald business editor at large Liam Dann says falling house prices and reversing pandemic stimulus are the key factors.
