Brad Olsen: Infometrics Chief Economist on the import and export stats for October
Early Edition with Ryan Bridge - Podcast tekijän mukaan Newstalk ZB
We’re heading in the right direction, but they’re still not great numbers on the trade deficit. Stats NZ data for October shows exports fell to $5.4 billion annually, with imports down to just over $7 billion on last year. The annual trade deficit is $14.8 billion, slightly better than September's $15.41 billion. Infometrics chief economist Brad Olsen told Kate Hawkesby that it's an improvement, but it remains a concern. He says we're still importing more than we're exporting.
