nzherald.co.nz

Finance Minister Nicola Willis is considering increasing contributions to KiwiSaver from both employees and employers. Currently, New Zealanders have $112 billion in KiwiSaver, compared to Australia's $4.63 trillion in its pension system. Concerns are growing about the adequacy of KiwiSaver for retirement. The Treasury warns that rising health costs and an aging population are straining public finances. These developments highlight the need for a review of New Zealand's retirement savings system to ensure financial security for the future.
