Some years back I wrote two papers (Bertram, 2001, 2002) about the current account, the exchange rate and the banks. Here I pick up the threads of my earlier analysis as the backdrop to some remarks about the recent decision of the New Zealand government to provide a wholesale deposit guarantee to this country’s New Zealand-incorporated – but mainly Australian-owned – banking sector.
