    The Prime Minister's tempering expectations ahead of the Government's books opening this week

    The Prime Minister's tempering expectations ahead of the Government's books opening this week


    The Half Year Economic and Fiscal Update will be unveiled tomorrow - with some economists expecting a projected surplus to be pushed out by another year.

    Chris Luxon says the reports were completed in October - so it's not a current view of the economy.

    He says the data's grounded in the second and third quarter - and the economy has strengthened quite a bit since.
