Nick Tuffley: ASB Chief Economist ahead of today's GDP announcement

The economy is expected to look better than earlier predictions. 

Figures —due out from Stats NZ this morning— are expected to show the country's GDP grew 0.7% for the first quarter of the year.  

It's slightly higher than 0.4%, predicted earlier this year. 

ASB chief economist Nick Tuffley told Mike Hosking things are expected to slow through the middle half of the year.
