    The Finance Minister believes New Zealand is through the worst of it - in terms of economic pain

    The Finance Minister believes New Zealand is through the worst of it - in terms of economic pain


    Figures from Statistics New Zealand show GDP's fallen one percent in the three months to September - a larger fall than predicted by some economists.

    It makes it the weakest six months for the economy since 1991 - when NOT considering the Covid years.

    Finance Minister Nicola Willis says business owners are tough and resilient.

    She says we have good times ahead - with lower interest rates.
