    Many are predicting a fall in GDP for quarter two

    Many are predicting a fall in GDP for quarter two


    Stats NZ will release the figures later this morning, just before 11am.

    The Reserve Bank expects a 0.3 percent drop while bank economists are more pessimistic.

    Westpac Senior Economist Michael Gordon says there are worrying trends.

    He says the construction sector is still in a downturn while manufacturing has seen a fall after a decent first quarter.
