New Zealand tipped into recession in the third quarter, official data showed Thursday, with the economy suffering an unexpectedly sharp slump that sent the country's currency tumbling and sparked political finger-pointing.

New Zealand enters recession with sharp GDP decline

The economy has for months teetered on the verge of recession, with consumer sentiment weighed by high prices, elevated borrowing costs and a housing crisis.

New Zealand tipped into recession in the third quarter, official data showed Thursday, with the economy suffering an unexpectedly sharp slump that sent the country's currency tumbling and sparked political finger-pointing.
The conservative coalition government defended its "respect for taxpayers' money" as the opposition accused it of feeding a "recessionary fire".
The economy has for months teetered on the verge of recession, with consumer sentiment weighed by high prices, elevated borrowing costs and a housing crisis.
But the latest figures showed gross domestic product fell a bigger-than-expected 1.0 percent July-September from the previous three months. Analysts had forecast a contraction of 0.2 percent.
That marked the second quarterly contraction in a row, after shrinking a revised 1.1 percent in April-June.
"Yes, the one percent decline in activity is huge. And it's much weaker than anyone had anticipated," said a report by Kiwibank economics.
Excluding an economic decline during the Covid-19 pandemic, the New Zealand economy had posted the weakest six-month period since 1991, it said.
"And weakness is spreading across most industries," the report said.
However, the recent drop was partly balanced out by a statistical revision of growth upwards earlier in the year, Kiwibank said.
And the latest quarter may be the last in the cycle of decline, it said, with a one percent cut in interest rates over the quarter likely to provide relief going forward.
The New Zealand dollar was trading in the late afternoon at US$0.5626 -- down about 1.8 percent from the previous day -- as the scale of the slump took traders by surprise.
"The latest economic figures highlight the importance of the steps the government has taken to restore respect for taxpayers money and drive economic growth," the government said in a statement.
Finance Minister Nicola Willis said the economy had now contracted for eight quarters on a per-capita basis.
"The decline reflects the impact of high inflation on the economy. That led the Reserve Bank to engineer a recession which has stifled growth," she said.
But she predicted the economy would pick up in the next quarter, and grow more strongly in 2025.
The opposition Labour Party said the recession was of the finance minister's making.
"Nicola Willis' cuts and austerity has fed the recessionary fire," said Labour finance spokesperson Barbara Edmonds. "There's no creative accounting that Nicola can do to make these GDP figures better."

New Zealand start their World Cup campaign against Afghanistan on the 8th of June followed by a game against hosts West Indies.

New Zealand's Devon Conway said he has fully recovered from a thumb injury and keen to start playing for Black Caps ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup.
Conway suffered the injury in February and forced the left-handed batter to miss the entire season of the just concluded IPL (Indian Premier League).
Conway, however, trained for a few weeks with Chennai Super Kings before being let go to recover fully from his injury.

New Zealand pacer Neil Wagner breaks down during his retirement announcement

New Zealand pacer Neil Wagner couldn't hold back his tears as he addressed the media ahead of his side's 1st Test against Australia.

Wagner announced his decision to retire from international cricket before the press conference and broke down while talking about it.

New Zealand pacer Neil Wagner couldn't hold back his tears as he addressed the media ahead of his side's 1st Test against Australia.
The 37-year-old announced his decision to retire from international cricket before the press conference and broke down while talking about it.
"It's never an easy time to do something like this. But yeah, the time has obviously come. I'm really grateful for the opportunity. It's been amazing to be a part of, obviously the Black Caps and to be able to represent the Fern and to have a black cap on my head has been some of the proudest moments of my life," he said.
Wagner was not selected in New Zealand's XI for their first Test against Australia starting on Thursday and is set to be released from the squad ahead of the second and last match in Christchurch.
South Africa-born Wagner played 64 tests for New Zealand and finished 5th on New Zealand's list of all-time test wicket-takers with 260 at an average of 37.
"The New Zealand public and the fans, I can't thank you enough for the support. For making me feel welcome, to make me feel like a Kiwi. And yeah, for the chants throughout the years, lifting me up when your body is sore. To be able to still do what you do. You played a huge role," Wagner added.

Wagner made his test debut in 2012 and was a key figure in one of New Zealand's most successful eras, helping the team win the inaugural World Test Championship in 2022.

The hard-working and durable New Zealand fast bowler Neil Wagner announced his retirement from test cricket at 37 on Tuesday. Check out his records and stats.

Wagner made his test debut in 2012 and was a key figure in one of New Zealand's most successful eras, helping the team win the inaugural World Test Championship in 2022.

The hard-working and durable New Zealand fast bowler Neil Wagner announced his retirement from test cricket at 37 on Tuesday.
South Africa-born Wagner played 64 tests for New Zealand and finished 5th on New Zealand's list of all-time test wicket-takers with 260 at an average of 37.
The left-armer likely was not going to be included in New Zealand's lineup for the first test against Australia, starting at the Basin Reserve in Wellington on Thursday and decided to retire from the five-day game.
Wagner made his test debut in 2012 and was a key figure in one of New Zealand's most successful eras, helping the team win the inaugural World Test Championship in 2022. He moved from South Africa to New Zealand in 2008 and quickly established himself in first-class cricket with Otago province.
In recent years Wagner pursued a sort of leg theory of continual short-pitched bowling which was contentious among some fans but invariably produced results. New Zealand won 34 of the 64 tests in which he played.
His strike rate of 52 is bettered only by Richard Hadlee among New Zealand bowlers who have taken more than 100 wickets.
One of Wagner's most notable performances was in bowling New Zealand to a one-run win over England after following on at the Basin Reserve last year. Wagner took 4-62 including the final wicket of James Anderson which fell with England one run short of a winning total.
&ldquo;It's been an emotional week,&rdquo; Wagner said Tuesday. &ldquo;It's not easy to step away from something you've given so much to and got so much out of, but it's now time for others to step up and take this team forward. I've enjoyed every single moment of playing test cricket for the Black Caps and am proud of everything we've been able to achieve as a team."
Wagner played under several New Zealand captains who all knew they could throw the ball to him when in need of a breakthrough or simply of someone to bowl for long periods.
&ldquo;Neil's numbers are phenomenal but I don't think we can underestimate his contributions to the team when the chips were down and he found a way to create a wicket,&rdquo; New Zealand coach Gary Stead said.
&ldquo;His accuracy, execution and tenacity has been instrumental in many of our great test victories and he will always be remembered for his lion-hearted nature.
"Neil gave absolutely everything and we are certainly going to miss his energy and never give in' attitude.&rdquo;

Having already lost the 5-match T20I series, Pakistan was looking for their first win on the New Zealand tour, which they were denied. The Kiwis beat the visitors by 7 wickets in Christchurch and went 4-0 up in the 5-match series.
Put into bat, Pakistan was restricted to 158/5 in 20 overs. The only saving grace for them was Mohammad Rizwan who scored a gritty 90 not out.
It seemed that the visitors might defend that total when Shaheen Afridi reduced the hosts to 20/3 by picking up all 3 wickets.
However, Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips dropped anchor and took New Zealand over the finish line with 11 balls to spare. While Mitchell scored 72 not out, Phillips remained unbeaten on 70 in their 139-run 4th-wicket partnership.
With that, Pakistan has now lost 8 consecutive matches in international cricket, with 7 of those losses coming ever since Babar Azam was removed as captain.

Glenn Phillips stitched together a match-winning partnership with Mitchell Santner to guide New Zealand to a victory against Bangladesh in the 2nd test.

Glenn Phillips stitched together a match-winning partnership with Mitchell Santner to guide New Zealand to a victory against Bangladesh in the 2nd test.

Glenn Phillips stitched together a match-winning partnership with Mitchell Santner to guide New Zealand to a victory against Bangladesh in the 2nd test. Phillips tallied an unbeaten 40 runs in 48 deliveries in the second innings, apart from his 87 from the first essay.
His brilliant show fetched him the Player of the Match award. Chasing a target of 137, the Kiwis were struggling at 69/6 but Phillips and Santner's brilliant stand saw the visitors beat Bangladesh by 4 wickets to level the series.
Ajaz Patel also took the limelight in Bangaldesh&rsquo;s second innings, bagging a 6-wicket haul. Mitchell Santner, meanwhile, took 3 to bowl the hosts out for 144.
Having won the toss, Bangladesh were dismissed for 172 in the first innings, while New Zealand managed to eke out an 8-run lead, all thanks to Phillips' 87. Eventually, the New Zealanders managed to tie the series, having lost the first Test by 150 runs.

After India vs Australia 4th Test ended in a draw in Ahmedabad, skipper Rohit Sharma told the reporters that the team was following the New Zealand v Sri Lanka Test, which confirmed India's place in the World Test Championship final.
'We were keeping a track of what is happening there. And it's, you know, general talk in the dressing room, that happens, that this team is behind, this team is ahead and things like that. It's not like we were sitting in front of the television and watching it,' said Rohit.
He also talked about facing Australia in the World Test Championship final in London in June.
'Speaking of playing them in the finals, it's going to be a different ball game. You know, again, a neutral venue for both the teams. Both the teams have played a lot of cricket in that part of the world. So I wouldn't say it's going to be alien conditions for both teams. But yes, compared to what it is like playing in India for India or playing for Australia in Australia, it's not going to be like that. It's going to be slightly different from that, which I'm pretty sure both teams will prepare for it. You know, whatever time we get after IPL, we will try and find some time and get ready for that.' added Rohit.

England may have redefined the way Test cricket is played lately but New Zealand gave the Three Lions a taste of their own medicine on Tuesday.
The Kiwis pulled off one off the most thrilling wins in Wellington as they beat England by just 1 run in the 2nd Test. Interestingly, it was just the fourth follow-on victory in Test history.
England had declared their 1st innings at 435/8 and the Kiwis were bowled out for a mere 209 in reply.
However the hosts turned the game on its head in the 2nd innings. Following on, New Zealand scored 483 and set England a target of 258.
However, Ben Stokes' men failed to do that as James Anderson was the last man to fall with just 2 runs needed for victory.

While Tom Blundell's hundred did keep England's lead down to just 19 in the first innings, the visitors managed 374 in the 2nd essay. And Stuart Broad's incredible spell saw the Kiwis stutter to 28/5, before finally folding for 126 in the 4th inns.

After Cyclone Gabrielle, New Zealand's capital hit with strong earthquake 

The US Geologicial Survey stated that the quake measured 5.7 on the moment magnitude scale while New Zealand's Civil Defence agency said that the temblor was 5.7 magnitude strong. 

The US Geological Survey stated that the quake measured 5.7 on the moment magnitude scale while New Zealand's Civil Defence agency said that the temblor had a magnitude of 6.0.

After Cyclone Gabrielle claimed four lives, New Zealand's capital, located on the southern end of the cyclone-hit North Island, Wellington was swayed by a strong earthquake on February 15, with residents reporting feeling a sudden jolt and buildings quivering. The US Geological Survey stated that the quake measured 5.7 on the moment magnitude scale while New Zealand's Civil Defence agency said that the temblor had a magnitude of 6.0.
The epicentre was 57 km deep in the Cook Strait between the country's two main islands.
"A big shake there! A magnitude 6.0, 57 km deep, 50 km north-west of Paraparaumu was widely felt in the North Island," said New Zealand's Civil Defence agency.
There were no immediate reports of damage, and no tsunami warning has been issued.
But residents reported feeling the ground shaking for 10-20 seconds, likening it to a convoy of giant trucks rolling by.
The quake came as the cleanup gets underway from a devastating cyclone, which killed four people and caused widespread damage across the North Island.

New Zealand: 7-day long state of emergency declared after Cyclone Gabrielle wreaks havoc on North Island

"It's been a big night for New Zealanders. A lot of families are displaced, a lot of homes are without power," Prime Minister Chris Hipkins told reporters in Auckland.

A state of emergency was declared in New Zealand on Tuesday as Cyclone Gabrielle battered the country's North Island.
Emergency Management Minister Kieran McAnulty said the cyclone "has had major impacts across most of the North Island".
McAnulty signed the declaration at first light as emergency services struggled to cope, the minister also added that the emergency will last for seven days.&nbsp;
"This is a significant disaster with a real threat to the lives of New Zealanders," he told reporters in Wellington.
The state of emergency will apply to Northland, Auckland, Tairawhiti, Bay of Plenty, Waikato and Hawke's Bay.
High winds and heavy rain lashed the country's North Island overnight in what officials called an "unprecedented weather event".

"It's been a big night for New Zealanders. A lot of families are displaced, a lot of homes are without power," Prime Minister Chris Hipkins told reporters in Auckland.
"There has been extensive damage across the country."
Daylight revealed the severity of the disaster: roads eaten away by landslips and collapsed homes buried in mud, silt and a slew of storm detritus.
Falling trees smashed houses and flood waters blocked several roads, leaving communities stranded.
Local media reported some traumatised residents were forced to swim from their homes to safety. Hundreds of homes and residents have been evacuated, as per local reports.
McAnulty said more rain and high winds were expected Tuesday, further hampering rescue efforts.
"The emergency services are working night and day, but the unstable ground, flood waters and closed roads are making things hard."
Hipkins has promised an aid package of 11.5 million New Zealand dollars ($7.25 million) to help recovery efforts, but McAnulty admitted the cost of the clean-up was set to spiral.
It's been just two weeks since a record-breaking storm swamped Auckland, which is New Zealand's largest city, and killed four people.
This is only the third time New Zealand has declared a state of emergency -- the other two were the 2019 Christchurch attacks and the Covid-19 pandemic.

Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said everyone should be ready to face the threats posed by flooding, huge ocean swells and strong winds.

New Zealand: North Island braces for cyclone, weeks after fatal flood killed 4 in Auckland 

Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said everyone should be ready to face the threats posed by flooding, huge ocean swells and strong winds.

Auckland residents hunkered down Monday as they braced for a deluge from Cyclone Gabrielle, two weeks after a record-breaking storm swamped New Zealand's largest city and killed four people.
Much of Auckland ground to a halt as train services were canceled, libraries and most schools were closed, and authorities asked people to make only essential trips.
New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said the weather had made the start of the year "incredibly challenging&rdquo; for people in Auckland and other northern areas.
&ldquo;Extreme weather event has come on the back of extreme weather event,&rdquo; Hipkins said.
&ldquo;For families and businesses, I know that that has been just exhausting, and I want to acknowledge how hard many of them are doing it.&rdquo;
Air New Zealand canceled all domestic flights to and from Auckland through Tuesday morning, as well as many international flights.
Some international routes would continue operating, the airline said, although they might need to be diverted from Auckland.
The carrier also canceled domestic flights to and from the cities of Hamilton, Tauranga and Taupo.
In all, Air New Zealand canceled more than 500 flights.
More than 10,000 international customers had been affected, the airline said, with thousands still to be rebooked.
The cyclone, which was moving south, dumped more than 220 millimeters (9 inches) of rain in areas north of Auckland, cutting power to about 58,000 households and forcing many roads to close.

About 46,000 homes remained without power Monday afternoon.
Authorities declared a state of emergency in Northland, Auckland and some other regions, and were asking some residents in low-lying areas to evacuate.
Gabrielle was expected to pass Auckland overnight Monday. Its windspeed was downgraded as gusts abated to about 130 kilometers per hour (80 miles per hour).
Weather forecaster MetService said there was a very high likelihood of &ldquo;extreme, impactful, and unprecedented weather" over many regions, with heavy rain, strong winds and large waves.
With Hipkins and some other lawmakers unable to immediately travel from Auckland to the capital, Wellington, some events scheduled for this year's opening session of Parliament were rescheduled, including Hipkins' statement outlining his priorities for the year, which has been moved from Tuesday to Wednesday.
Two weeks ago, Aucklanders experienced the wettest day ever recorded in the city, as the amount of rain that would typically fall over an entire summer hit in a single day.
Quickly rising floodwaters and landslides killed four people, caused widespread disruption and left hundreds of homes unliveable.

Here are the records he broke with a hundred in 3rd T20I

Gill carried on his brilliant one-day form into the T20Is as he smashed his maiden T20I hundred off just 54 balls in the 3rd T20 vs New Zealand

Shubman Gill having a time of his life.
There was a time when he was criticised for not converting good starts into big scores but ever since the opening batter got the taste of a century in Tests in December 2022, there has been no stopping the man from Punjab.
Gill carried on his brilliant one-day form into the T20Is as he smashed his maiden T20I hundred off just 54 balls in the 3rd T20 vs New Zealand.
What made the innings even more special was the fact that the 23-year-old brought up his first-ever 3-digit score in the shortest format in the series decider.&nbsp;
Gill carried on and finished at an unbeaten 63-ball-126 and now has the highest score by an Indian in T20Is, going past Virat Kohli's 122 not out vs Afghanistan.
Apart from that, he is only the second Indian after Rohit Sharma to have an ODI double century &amp; a T20I hundred.

IND vs NZ: Hardik Pandya slams Lucknow pitch, calls it 'shocker of a wicket'

"It was a shocker of a wicket. I don't mind difficult wickets. I am all up for that, but these two wickets were not made for T20" - Hardik Pandya after the 2nd #INDvNZ T20I.

India managed to chase down the 100-run target in the final over.

Indian captain Hardik Pandya didn't hold back in slamming the Lucknow pitch that was used for the second T20I against New Zealand.
Both teams found it hard to score runs on a pitch that offered prodigious turn; <a href="https://www.editorji.com/sports-news/ind-vs-nz-2nd-t20i-india-edge-out-new-zealand-in-a-low-scoring-thriller-to-tie-series-1-1-1675011557730">India could only chase down the 100-run target with only a ball to spare.</a>
And Pandya expressed his dismay at the standard of the pitches in the first two matches.
"It was a shocker of a wicket. Both the games we have played so far. I don't mind difficult wickets. I am all up for that, but these two wickets were not made for T20."
"Even 120 would have been a winning score," Pandya added.

With the 3-match series on the line, Hardik Pandya's men would be under pressure and can't afford another hiccup in this do-or-die contest
