Dame Noeline Taurua is staying on as Silver Ferns head coach until the end of next year's Netball World Cup.

The reappointment comes in the wake of the New Zealand side winning Commonwealth Games gold in Glasgow last month - less than a year after she was stood down from the role and then reinstated.

The 2027 World Cup begins in August in Sydney, and Taurua's feeling hopeful as training gets under way.

"The Commonwealth Games is such a treat, a dream, and I'm heading to the Netball World Cup now for next year and I'm riding the wave."

Stats NZ data shows GDP rose 0.2 percent in the June quarter, and annual growth reached a two-year high on 1.7 percent.

Many economists were forecasting a contraction when fuel prices started spiking in March.

BNZ Research Head, Stephen Toplis, says our growth's great, in the circumstances.

"We knew the country was under the cost during that period, largely because of rapidly rising oil prices - and it was struggling. But at least it was struggling with the positive sign in front of it."
