WELLINGTON - New Zealand’s economy is currently doing better than predicted due to the country’s early economic and health response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the finance minister said on Monday. “The economy is doing better than expected and is more open than anywhere else in the world,” Grant Robertson said in a news conference.

Robertson also said NZ$14 billion from a COVID Response and Recovery Fund that was announced in the annual budget earlier this year will now be set aside in the event the country experiences a second wave of infections.
