Hon GRANT ROBERTSON: The global recession due to the COVID-19 pandemic has been felt around the world. The UK reported that economic activity fell 20 percent during the month of April, from March, due to the lockdown. At the end of April, the UK economy was 25 percent smaller than in February. Last week, the Australian unemployment rate rose to 7.1 percent in May, up from 5.1 percent three months ago. Forecasts by the Reserve Bank of Australia are for the unemployment rate there to peak at around 8 percent—the same as now being forecast for New Zealand.
