Hon GRANT ROBERTSON (Minister of Finance): I receive a range of advice on the impact of the outbreak and the restrictions on the economy as a whole, including official advice from the Treasury. I also receive informal advice from the many interactions I have with businesses and workers in Auckland and around the country. At an aggregate level, Treasury estimate that at the current alert level settings, around 90 to 95 percent of the economy is operating at normal levels of activity. As I informed the member yesterday, official figures from the Companies Office show liquidations in the period have not been materially different to 2020 and 2019, nor have removals from the Companies Register. In terms of workers, I would note the number of people on a main benefit did increase after the lockdown began. However, it has fallen consistently since then. This week, ANZ have forecast unemployment to fall to 3.8 percent in the September quarter, and—for the benefit of the member—that includes both men and women in that 3.8 figure. I recognise that some businesses and workers are doing it tough, particularly in Auckland, and that's why the Government has acted swiftly to put in place the economic support that we have to protect businesses, jobs, and livelihoods, with around $4.8 billion being paid out so far since 17 August. Our enhanced business package provides further support to businesses as we move to the new COVID-19 Protection Framework, and I would note that that support has been welcomed by the region's business leaders.
