There's less optimism for today's GDP figure than there was for the last.
Stats NZ will release the September quarter figure later this morning.
In June, Gross Domestic Product rose 0.9%.
Westpac Senior Economist, Darren Gibbs, told Mike Hosking that they're predicting a 0.1% decrease to our economy.
He says the manufacturing sector's seen weak growth, which is a strong economic indicator.
Gibbs believes the sector will be a drag on our GDP figure, as manufacturing's PMI figure has been at dreadful levels recently.
