Welcome to the Budget edition of Commercial eSpeaking.
Our lead story is a short commentary on the Minister of Finance’s third Budget, presented to Parliament on Thursday, 28 May.
As the Minister indicated earlier, this Budget is a ‘no money tree’ document. The government hopes it will help steer New Zealand out of the economic doldrums and the soon-we-hope ‘recovery’ from not only the effects of the rising energy costs due to the Middle East instability, but also the lingering consequences from Covid.
The Budget, entitled ‘Securing New Zealand’s Future’ aims to get the country’s economy back to surplus and reduce debt as a share of GDP.
