Consumer Borrowing and Covid-19 – How are Kiwi households weathering the crisis

The speakers will give a big picture view of where we’re at with the consumer credit law reform package, options available in terms of Government relief packages and the perspective of both the consumer/small business and the retail bank when considering the financial implications of taking up these options.

Each panelist will discuss their views (approx. 10 minutes), and then we will open the floor for a Q & A for 10-20 minutes.
