Treasury release: Monthly Economic Indicators March 2013
Treasury release: Monthly Economic Indicators March 2013
The March Monthly Economic Indicators (MEI) report has been released by the Treasury. The report provides a summary of recent economic events.
The key
points are:
• Real GDP grew strongly in the December
2012 quarter, with broad-based growth, leading to solid
performance for the NZ economy in the year as a
whole.
• Indicators point to ongoing strength
domestically, but the impact of the drought, while
uncertain, will detract from growth in 2013.
There are two
special topics this month:
• March 2013 Business
Talks
• The economic impacts of the drought
The MEI is available online at: http://www.treasury.govt.nz/economy/mei/mar13
