ANZ has announced a significant achievement as its daily finance and economics podcast, "5 in 5 with ANZ," surpasses one million listens. Since its inception in August 2023, the podcast has attracted a global audience with its concise format focusing on the five biggest economic trends and market movements.
The podcast, which airs every weekday morning, is hosted by Bernard Hickey. It aims to provide listeners with a quick yet thorough overview of economic developments. This is further expanded by input from ANZ's international team of economists and experts who offer detailed analysis of how global events impact economies.
"Reaching one million listens is a testament to the value our audience places on deep insights and first-rate market analysis," said Tammy Medard, ANZ Managing Director, Institutional Australia & PNG. She emphasized the importance of the podcast in helping global audiences understand evolving business trends.
ANZ Group Chief Economist Richard Yetsenga remarked, "This milestone recognises the work the ANZ Research team do every day to deliver analysis on the forces shaping local, regional, and global economies and markets." He noted that regular listeners are better equipped to handle both short-term and long-term economic changes.
Host Bernard Hickey also acknowledged the significance of reaching one million listens, attributing the achievement to the hard-working production team and the high standards maintained through collaboration with ANZ Research. He expressed gratitude to the program's supportive audience.
The ANZ Research team is essential in creating the podcast's content, offering insights into regional and global economies alongside financial and commodity markets. Their expertise spans multiple key geographies, including Australia, New Zealand, Emerging Asia, Greater China, and the G3 economies, covering macroeconomic trends and market strategies.
