Liam Dann: NZ Herald business editor at large on today's Stats NZ data confirming New Zealand is in recession - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

One economic expert believes there are 'bright pockets' to be found in today's newly-released GDP figures.

Data from Stats NZ shows the economy contracted 0.1 percentage points in the final quarter of 2023- putting New Zealand in a technical recession.

NZ Herald business editor Liam Dann says this means the economy is turning faster than expected, which will hopefully mean rates could come down.
