Hon GRANT ROBERTSON (Minister of Finance): The economic recovery is not just happening of its own accord. It is a result of the hard work and sacrifice of New Zealanders and this Government's decisive actions to protect our people and halt the spread of COVID-19. Over the weekend, I read a report from the New Zealand Herald's business editor, Liam Dann, who wrote that the Government's quick roll-out of fiscal support to limit job losses during COVID-19 had worked better than anyone dreamt. This was in response to job figures from Stats New Zealand last week, which showed the unemployment rate had dropped to 4.9 percent. That drop, from 5.3 percent in the previous quarter, reflects our decisions, particularly through the wage subsidy, to keep people connected to their jobs and support businesses and households through the COVID-19 pandemic.
