Miles Workman: Economist predicts 1.1% growth in GDP figure
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.
He told Tim Dower other data released prior to today's announcement is why he's changed his tune.
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.
