THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT: Pondering 2026 without a crystal ball
Paul McBeth and Oliver Mander opine on marketland.
The Bottom Line’s Paul McBeth and New Zealand Shareholders’ Association chief executive Oliver Mander try their hands at this podcast thing with The Long and the Short of It, where they discuss the latest goings-on in marketland.
In the final episode of 2025, Oliver peers into the crystal ball to ponder what the year ahead might hold, with New Zealand’s economy showing signs of life, the India free trade deal set to open new doors, and the cycle turning in favour of maybe, just maybe new companies coming to the NZX.
The digressions come thick and fast we Oliver and Paul cherry pick a few moments of New Zealand’s history, mull over the never-ending theme of AI, and even ponder whether the country will get its act together when it comes to infrastructure planning and investment.
Paul goes out the gate on a couple of very wide digressions, plus he shamelessly spruiks his father’s book in the background.
