New Zealand’s economic data is finally showing some signs of life – but for many businesses and households, it certainly doesn’t feel like a recovery.

Liam Dann and Tamsyn Parker look at the conflicting signals in the economy, why the recovery may take time to reach ordinary New Zealanders, and what NZ’s march towards $1 trillion in total debt really tells us.
