This week we look at why Huawei was banned from Spark’s 5G rollout and whether it will hit our exports to China. We also look at what the Reserve Bank has done to mortgage lending restrictions and why it’s warning insurers, banks and property-owners to be better prepared for climate change.

This week we look at how New Zealand has had a recession every year ending with 8 for the last 50 years.  We also look at the Apax Partners' bid for Trade Me, and a big decision expected by officials this week on whether Huawei can participate in the 5G rollout.

This week we look at the future of Kaitaia and its mill, as an example of the zombie town problem in our provinces.  We also cover an example of New Zealand exporting success on China's "Singles Day", examine the Government's efforts to deal with the growth of the gig economy, and look at Vector's future after the exit of polarising chairman Michael Stiassny.
