Monthly Economic Indicators November 2016

Press Release: The Treasury

The November Monthly Economic Indicators (MEI) was published today on the Treasury website at 2:00pm. The report provides a summary of recent economic events.

The main points:

• Robust labour market and retail sales data point to solid third quarter GDP growth.

• An earthquake on 14 November caused some localised disruption to activity in central New Zealand but nation-wide impacts appear limited.

• Global financial market volatility increased in November, reflecting the unexpected change in the outlook for US economic policy in light of the presidential election.

Gordon Campbell: On Why We Can’t Survive Two More Years Of This

Remember those silent movies where the heroine is tied to the railway tracks or going over the waterfall in a barrel? Finance Minister Nicola Willis seems intent on portraying herself as that damsel in distress. According to Willis, this country’s current economic problems have all been caused by the spending schemes cooked up by the dastardly and long-departed Grant Robertson, in cahoots with Treasury. So don’t blame her for the current state of the New Zealand economy. We appear to be paying her over $300,000 a year to wring her hands and blame everyone else for the country’s plight.
