New Zealand's GDP rises one percent in June quarter

September 20, 2018
New figures show GDP grew for the last quarter of 2015, political editor Corin Dann says.

New Zealand's gross domestic product has increased one per cent in the June quarter.

It's the largest rise in two years, and makes for a 2.7 per cent gain over the June year, Stats NZ said.

Growth was delivered on the back of a bounce back in dairy production and meat processing, higher power generation, and forestry.

House building also lifted, as did activity in the services sector.
