The 9Network has announced a new 9News Money Editor.

On Friday, the network confirmed financial commentator and author, Effie Zahos, for the position, who will start on October 7.

In the new role, Zahos will work across 9News, A Current Affair, Today, and Today Extra to share “critical financial insights that directly impact Australian households and families”.

“I’m thrilled to be joining the 9Network full-time as 9News Money Editor. Finance doesn’t have to be complicated, and I’m passionate about helping everyday Aussies understand how changes in the economy impact them,” Zahos said.

“With the cost of living and interest rates at the top of everyone’s minds, there’s never been a more important time to break down what it all means for families and households.”

Zahos will also work closely with 9News finance editor, Chris Kohler.

Fiona Dear, Nine’s director of news & current affairs, added: “Effie has an extraordinary ability to simplify even the most complex financial topics, and we’re delighted to welcome her to the team full-time.
