Business leaders aren’t sugarcoating their messages for the Government.  

The Herald's annual Mood of the Boardroom survey shows business leaders are less optimistic about the economy than they were a year ago. 

Only a third of respondents back the Government's current growth agenda. 

Forsyth Barr Managing Director Neil Paviour-Smith told Mike Hosking concerns are being expressed about the need to tackle the difficult problems and long-term issues. 

He says there’s a need for the Government to be much clearer around the plan to tackle things like infrastructure, long-term savings, and the Crown’s fiscal position, which acts as a ball and chain around the economy.
