Petrol down to 135.9c for 91

Petrol prices have finally come down. I feel it is long overdue & think the petrol companies have all taken us for a ride over Christmas when they know we'll all be travelling over the country.

I was expecting a reduction on Christmas eve as a Christmas Present off the companies but to no avail!

Watch the US dollar movements & (according to Petrol Companies) refined oil prices
If oil price gets lower and you get more US dollars to your NZ dollar prices should be heading down soon!

Like wise if going against each other they will stay still or if both going opposite to above prices will go up. Some way into working out whether prices are likely to go up or down soon

Savings rates already dropped for MOST term deposits

Most term deposit rates have dropped already. Most by 1% but there are the odd few that haven't yet.

Current best offer on Term Deposits:

8.3% fixed for 1 year with Southern Cross Building Society $1000+ 

But how long will this rate last?

Apparently Southern Cross BS due to be included under deposit insurance scheme so savings should be save. If does get included in this savings will be guaranteed by government

91 Petrol down to 172.9c!

Petrol prices keep on coming down! Now 172.9c in main centres

But watch the oil prices and USD/NZD exchange rate. 

If NZ Dollar buys less US Dollars (as is happening at the moment) the price of petrol can go up even if the price of oil per barrel is coming down (which generally should lower price of petrol). 

This can give you a heads up on whether price of petrol is going to go up or down.

Labour Weekend Sales!

Yes this weekend usually heralds sales from most company's as they get chance for shoppers to pick up some bargains. Like the spring sales.

Current deals til Monday:
Warehouse Stationary 15-50%

Why doesn't NZ have Deposit protection insurance for bank accounts in NZ?

You may have noticed banks going bankrupt abroad. UK/ Ireland/ Europe have protection if their bank goes bankrupt. But NZ doesn't!

The Reserve Bank here says we don't need it as the Australian Banks that own most of NZ banks are secure.

I guess Australia is in a better situation than the rest of the world with it mining boom, but lets hope the banks are as successful.

Last time a bank in NZ went Bankrupt, the NZ government bailed them out. So fingers crossed those Australian Banks are nice and secure.

Remember KiwiBank is the only bank owned by an NZ company: NZ Post
