Quotes

...the PSI and PMI for April tell of ongoing expansion of the real economy this year, after a perky finish to 2012" said BNZ economists Craig Ebert. "this supports our expectations of a good gain in gdp over the first half of 2013, in spite of the damage ensured from the drought earlier in the year."
"perhaps the biggest positive in the latest pmi came from the fact new orders, way up at 59.4, met with dipping stocks" BNZ senior economist Craig Ebert said
"this strongly suggests production will not only keep ramping up, but needs to in order to avoid emptying the shelves" Ebert said in the statement
