Hon GRANT ROBERTSON: While the economy's performance has exceeded the expectations of commentators and forecasters, the Delta outbreak shows that the recovery is uneven for some sectors and regions. Globally, the pandemic continues to disrupt supply chains, which is, in turn, affecting the New Zealand economy. It is appropriate that the Government continues to take a balanced approach as we work through the uncertainty, investing heavily to support wellbeing, our transition to a low-carbon economy and to improved productivity, while all the while carefully managing resources with an eye to the long-term sustainability of the economy.
