Path to surplus and job growth

The National-led Government is doing everything it can to give businesses the confidence to invest, grow, and create new jobs. This includes mapping a faster path back to Budget surplus, investing heavily in infrastructure, and getting better results from the public sector.

The latest forecasts from the Reserve Bank suggest the pace of growth is picking up. The central bank is predicting 4.6 per cent growth in the year to March 2013, somewhat higher than Treasury’s 4 per cent forecast in the Budget.

The bank also has a strong outlook for job growth, forecasting an additional 180,000 people employed by March 2014.
