Key says NZ will weather economic storm
National Party Leader John Key says New Zealand will weather the global credit storm and National has a carefully balanced economic package that will help get the country growing again.
“The international situation is serious, but I remain hopeful that over the next 24 hours, the United States Congress will agree to arrangements that provide some certainty to the financial sector.
“The important thing is for New Zealand to have a well-structured economic plan for growth. National’s economic package was carefully put together with a firm eye on the evolving international uncertainty.”
Mr Key says it is at times like these that a programme for economic growth and disciplined government spending become even more important.
“We are increasingly concerned that Labour has no real plan. If Helen Clark has one, she has certainly not been telling any one about it.”
