Businesses are continuing to weather hit after hit, as the economy bounces in and out of recovery.

GDP's now risen for three consecutive quarters - up 0.8 percent in the three months to March.

But it's on track to fall for a third consecutive June quarter due to the impact of the Iran war and the fuel crisis.

Employers and Manufacturers' Association Head of Advocacy Alan McDonald says their members are getting very used to adapting to disruptions.

Minister for Small Business and Manufacturing Cameron Brewer shares his thoughts with Andrew Dickens.

The SME Stream Weekly Wrap - 18 June

Our economy was well on the way to recovery, driven by a resurgence in manufacturing, before the fuel crisis hit. 

Stats NZ data out today shows GDP rose 0.8% in both the quarter and year to March. 

Equipment manufacturing, food production, accounting and businesses services, wholesale trade, and agriculture were all doing well. 

But mining had a big drop, as well as residential and non-residential construction.

The latest data shows GDP rose 0.8 percent in the March quarter, before the fuel crisis started to hit.

However, EMA Head of Advocacy Alan McDonald is urging caution at this stage.

"Everyone's kind of hedging their bets a little, but those underlying good factors that were evident in those numbers...they're still there. But some of the intentions to hire and invest - understandably, it's gone on hold."
