Hon GRANT ROBERTSON (Minister of Finance): Statistics New Zealand reported earlier this month the GDP rebounded by a solid 3 percent in the December 2021 quarter. On an annual basis, the economy grew 5.6 percent and was 3.5 percent higher than the pre-pandemic December 2019 quarter. The New Zealand economy finished 2021 in good shape overall and shows that the actions of hard-working New Zealanders are making sure that we respond to the pandemic well. The support from the wage subsidy scheme and the resurgence support payment help cushion the impacts of Delta and allow businesses to bounce back quickly. Unemployment is at a record low and we're in a strong fiscal position with debt levels well below those of countries we compare ourselves with.
