Dr Oliver Hartwich

Earlier this week the Reserve Bank dropped the official cash rate by 50 base points to one percent - citing slow GDP growth over the past year and declining international trade.

Executive Director Dr Oliver Hartwich spoke to Jesse Mulligan on Radio New Zealand to answer these questions.
