Slight GDP growth is expected in the second quarter.

It follows a 0.2 percent fall for the first three months of the year.

ASB Chief Economist Nick Tuffley says while it's hard to predict at the moment, his best guess is a 1.2 percent rise.

He told Kate Hawkesby while it's not a sure thing, there are some promising signs.

Tuffley says air travel and construction looked like they performed well.

The GDP figures will be revealed at 10:45 this morning.
