The National Party says there are big challenges in our economy despite a quarter three GDP boom.

New Zealand's GDP increased two percent in the three months to September.

That was much higher than most economists predicted and a bigger jump than the UK, the US, Australia and the EU.

National's Finance spokesperson Nicola Willis told Roman Travers everyone wants businesses to grow, but not everyone is feeling the positive effects of the economy.

She says wages aren't keeping up with inflation for many.
