Kiwibank's latest Economic Outlook has found global uncertainty, driven by Donald Trump's tariff changes, is holding the economy back.
It's revised this years growth forecast from 1.4 to 0.9 percent.

She says it's the indirect effect of the US and China being in conflict that will have the most impact.
