Today's GDP figure is expected to show small growth, but some economists are more optimistic than the Reserve Bank.
It predicted 0.8 percent growth, but ANZ Senior Economist Miles Workman is picking a 1.1 percent growth.

Workman says things like retail spending data and manufacturing surveys are more positive than expected.
New Zealand saw a 1.7 percent growth in the June quarter.
