Cameron Bagrie: Independent Economist on Westpac's GDP forecasts
from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB
The overall economy seems to be holding together as it slowly gets back on track. Westpac's August overview forecasts 2% growth across this year – accelerating to 3% in 2027. It points to an uptick in activity after falling flat in the three months to June. Independent economist Cameron Bagrie told Ryan Bridge the war in Iran has played into a lot of uncertainty in recent months, but the economy's bounced back well. He says import and export numbers have been phenomenal, and a lot of that's coming from regional growth. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
