For years, investors got used to borrowing at low rates. But with interest costs climbing, many are now asking: _is this the end of cheap money?_In this episode, Ed and Andrew break down the “grey wave” theory — the idea that retiring baby boomers will reshape global savings and push interest rates higher.

What the Reserve Bank of NZ says about where interest rates are headed next
