Hon GRANT ROBERTSON: Today, there have been further reports about how New Zealand is in good shape to respond to the economic effects of COVID-19. Independent economist Cameron Bagrie told Radio New Zealand this morning that New Zealand was in a "reasonable space" heading into this situation, saying that "New Zealand has had accelerating momentum."—things have actually been picking up. Mr Bagrie said that the Government had stepped up at the end of last year with our announcements of the $12 billion New Zealand Upgrade Programme. His comments also follow recent news that the Government ran a $1.4 billion surplus over the first seven months of this financial year and that net debt is now at 19.5 percent, well below the 22.9 percent that we inherited.
