Azaria Howell: Newstalk ZB political reporter on what the recent GDP figures say about the economy
Published 8 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
New reports show the economy is worse off than previously thought and it's sparked debate about what - or who - is to blame.
GDP data shows the economy shrunk 0.9 percent in the June quarter - a more significant dip than the 0.3 percent forecast by the Reserve Bank and similar figures from most economists.
Newstalk ZB political reporter Azaria Howell says economic conservatives are calling for a bigger reduction in spending, while Labour has called for the whole Government to resign.
