Hon GRANT ROBERTSON: We're doing it in real time here, but, previously, the ANZ economist called the result "eye-popping", and noted that "the rise in GDP confirms that New Zealand has seen a spectacular economic recovery". That sentiment was reflected in other commentaries. Kiwibank said, "The report was stronger than expected, pretty much across the board. And the economy has confidently returned to pre-COVID levels." And as the ASB noted this year, "unexpected strength of quarter one GDP growth adds to the weight of evidence that the New Zealand economy is on very firm footing, despite the global pandemic." This Government's economic recovery plan is working. We are supporting businesses and workers to succeed, despite the uncertainty of COVID-19 and the naysayers on the other side of the House.
