Barry Soper: ZB senior political correspondent on Treasury revealing the Pre-Election Economic and Fiscal Update figures

Election 2023 - A podcast by NZME

National's promising to spend our money on the right things, if elected next month. Treasury's today revealed the Pre-Election Economic and Fiscal Update. It suggests our recession's likely over - but shows the Government will be in deficit for longer, and take on billions more in debt. Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says the Opposition's now crunching its numbers. "What National's now got to do is sit down and look at the meaning of these figures that have been presented today. And they'll come up with their fiscal strategy within the next few weeks, so it'll be interesting to see what they make out of it." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
