Spotlight on the Economy
- New Zealand economy is continuing to recover
The New Zealand economy is continuing to recover, though some momentum, particularly in the household sector, may have been lost over the initial months of 2010. Forward-looking indicators are generally positive, especially for the manufacturing and construction sectors and the lower exchange rate in recent months is providing more confidence for exporters.More in Monthly Economic Indicators February 2010
