Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Wednesdays
Nicola Willis appears intent on making Kiwibank a bigger player in the banking sector The Finance Minister told the National Party's annual conference yesterday she wants to look into privatising the New Zealand-owned bank. It comes only a couple of years after the previous Government secured complete state ownership for 2.1 billion dollars. Willis told Heather du Plessis-Allan she's not proposing selling off the Government's share - she just wants to add to it with new capital. She says the motivation isn't about getting more cash out of Kiwibank - it's about growing it by having other people putting cash in. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
