One economic expert believes there are 'bright pockets' to be found in today's newly-released GDP figures. Data from Stats NZ shows the economy contracted 0.1 percentage points in the final quarter of 2023- putting New Zealand in a technical recession. NZ Herald business editor Liam Dann says this means the economy is turning faster than expected, which will hopefully mean rates could come down.

A new report from Stat NZ shows the economy contracted 0.1 percentage points in the final quarter of last year, following a 0.3 point drop in the September quarter.

The boss of Fonterra is playing down concerns about the Chinese market. Fonterra's half year profit is up 23 percent, and its interim dividend is up 50 percent, as it sells more processed product at a higher profit margin. But it's keeping the forecast milk payout midpoint unchanged at $7.80, following a recent drop in global raw product prices. Fonterra Chief Executive Miles Hurrell says China is still a growth opportunity, but it's only part of their diversified global strategy. "It's less than 30

Meal kit delivery service HelloFresh are calling for a new food labelling system, in order to minimise waste. New research has found over half of Kiwis throw away food after it passes the best-before date- despite these dates not reflecting the use by terms. HelloFresh Australasia CEO Tom Rutledge says a time-temperature indicator (TTI) will give people a better idea of when food is safe to eat. "Which means that you're not beholden to a fixed best-before date or use by date, and therefore causing a

They'll start out in four large hospitals in July and the scheme will be rolled out across the country, if proven successful. The Minister for Mental Health, Matt Doocey, says it's clear that the Peer Support workforce needs to be scaled up. "What we want to do is roll out this new service.

The report says Kiwibank also lacks the capital to disrupt the big four in a meaningful way. Commerce Commission chair John Small says these banks aren't interested in competing with each other.

Tough economic choices are on the horizon for the Government. GDP slipped 0.1 percent in 2023's last quarter, the second of negative growth in a row. Associate Finance Minister David Seymour says the previous Government left plenty of fiscal cliffs. He says it's unfortunate there isn't more money to go around. "I don't think there's a single person around the Cabinet Table who doesn't want to pay New Zealand police officers a lot more money. I know I do, they're some of the greatest New

One anti-youth vaping group thinks the Government's plan to crack down on youth vaping will miss the mark. The Government has promised a complete ban on disposable vapes and tougher fines for retailers caught selling to under-18s. Vape Free Kids co-founder Charyl Robinson says the only way to really tackle this problem is to reduce the number of available retailers. "There's been no indication that promises are set to be kept.

I don't think many of us are surprised to hear that we’re back in a technical recession for the second time in a year, it's pretty rough out there. Personally, I know people involved in retail. They're behind on rent, they can’t pay it because they aren’t making enough money any more. I know an architecture business that hasn't had any business for months now, I've heard of contractors like draftsmen, builders, and so on cold calling other businesses looking for work.
