A positive outlook for our economy in the year ahead
5 February 2021
Infometrics predicts annual economic growth to accelerate to 4.6 per cent in the second half of the year.
It comes after a surprising drop in the unemployment rate from 5.3 to 4.9 per cent.
Infometrics Chief Forecaster Gareth Kiernan says our economy has entered the year on a strong footing, thanks to the fiscal action taken and a strong Covid-19 response.
He says there are other countries still dealing with renewed outbreaks.
