Hon GRANT ROBERTSON: While these are strong results for the New Zealand economy, we need to remain aware that we are still in a volatile and uncertain global economic environment. There are reports of third- and fourth-wave infections in our trading partners, with new restrictions being imposed in countries like France and Germany. This is a reminder that our stronger than expected economic performance is set against the backdrop of an ever-changing global pandemic. There will be further challenges ahead this year, and some sectors and regions will be particularly tested in New Zealand, due to these global economic conditions. But we are in a strong position, and the Government will continue to invest to accelerate our recovery.
