She says that will illustrate the latest forecasts for a surplus - and seemed to caution against unrealistic expectations.

"I've always been clear - I'm not going to chase a surplus at all costs. Forecasts move up and down. What I've committed to New Zealanders is that we will make sensible, prudent fiscal decisions to get the books back in balance over time."
