Economists are focusing on the big picture, even if the country records another drop in GDP this morning.
Stats NZ is releasing GDP figures for the three months to December, later this morning.
Some economists are predicting a modest fall in GDP, while others are expecting a slight increase.
Infometrics senior economist Brad Olsen told Mike Hosking we need to keep an open mind.
He says we're currently going through a roller-coaster period for the economy.
Some are predicting 0.3 drop for the last three months of 2020, while others are predicting a 0.5 percent rise.
Brad Olsen says it's really anyone's guess.
"There's the potential for economic activity to have edged ahead, but it's so volatile it could go either way."
