New Zealand's gross domestic product isn't expected to have grown in the last quarter.
ASB is predicting a 0.2 percentage point drop, ANZ expects 0.1 percentage point growth, and the Reserve Bank's forecast a flat zero percent.

Infometrics principal economist Brad Olsen told Mike Hosking they're predicting minus 0.2.
He says given there's been the strongest population growth since 1946 at 2.8%, GDP at either side of zero is pretty sad.
