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.

"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."
