Economists are expecting the latest GDP figures to have risen in the second quarter.  

The numbers will be released this morning.  

After two drops, the country entered a technical recession in the first quarter of the year. 

ASB Chief Economist Nick Tuffley told Kate Hawkesby that things are likely to get a bit more challenging again later on this year. 

He said that there’s a risk of a double dip back into some negatives.
