Barry Soper: ZB senior political correspondent on the Government's response to today's OCR cut
The Prime Minister says this afternoon's double cut to the OCR is another sign the economy's improving.
The Reserve Bank is also signalling it'll follow up with at least two more 25 point reductions by the end of May.

ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says the Government's feeling proud of today's OCR update.
