The Government's Half Year Economic and Fiscal Update is due to be unveiled to the nation tomorrow, and the Finance Ministers outlined her expectations. 

Experts have speculated a projected surplus will be pushed back from 2029 by another year, and Prime Minister Chris Luxon tempered expectations earlier today.

Finance Minister Nicola Willis says 'fiscal discipline' will see New Zealand's economy keep growing in the coming months.
