The weakness in the New Zealand economy has become fully apparent with confirmation that the country experienced a recession.

This is the second in 18 months – when GDP sank 0.1% in the December quarter 2023, following a 0.3% decline in the September quarter. Economic growth over the year to December was a meagre 0.6%.

In turn, the jobs market is showing signs of further weakening – with the volume of job ads falling sharply in February, after a short-lived improvement in January.
