    Our largest sector is continuing to do it tough

    Our largest sector is continuing to do it tough


    Latest data from BNZ and Business NZ shows our services sector -- which makes up almost three quarters of the economy -- has contracted for the 18th consecutive month.

    Our manufacturing sector is also back in contraction, after a period of growth.

    Business NZ Chief Executive Katherine Rich says we're still seeing a tale of two economies.

    She says the primary sector is doing quite well, but the services sector is continuing to face challenges.
