Nicola Willis: Finance Minister warns surplus deadline won't be reached
Finance Minister Nicola Willis warns the Government could likely miss the proposed 2027 surplus forecast.
The Government included this deadline as a key goal in their pre-election fiscal plan.
Willis blames worsening economic conditions and the resulting lower tax income.
"I want to be upfront with New Zealanders about the fact that the numbers are looking a lot harder now than they did before Christmas."
