"My wife and I wish to express our sincere gratitude to Andre and the staff at MAINZ Limited.
In just a bit over five years, and sometimes when not following the regimented savings advice of Andre, we have reduced our debt from over $200,000 to ZERO - We have gone from Mortgage to Freehold and want you all to know that it is achievable.  We are also grateful for the continuing advice that Andre offers us on financial matters, even to the point of making international calls from New Zealand if we happen to miss him on the phone.  We wish Andre and all of his clients the best financial outcomes possible."
Colin and Eunice Elvey, New Plymouth (Now in Australia)

Many commentators, earlier this year, were saying that interest rates may go up 4 to 5 times in 2010. One bank economist was predicting that interest rates may have starting rising back in March. This did not happen and so far this year we have had only one interest rate increase. My view is that interest rates may not go up that much more this year. New Zealand’s economic recovery, which is happening slowly, can best be described as fragile. We have had the European debt crisis which took many by surprise and caused the world share markets to dip by 15%. They have since recovered a little bit in recent weeks. There is some talk that the Chinese economy may slow down as well. Given this and the fact that governments around the world still want to support their economies, interest rates are set to remain relatively low for sometime yet.  The Reserve Bank will likely lift the OCR this Thursday from 2.75% to 3.00% and this is likely to lead to a response to increase floating and 6 months rates by up to 0.25%.
