Many are predicting a fall in GDP for quarter two.  

Stats NZ will release the figures later this morning, just before 11am. 

The Reserve Bank expects a 0.3% drop while bank economists are more pessimistic.  

Westpac Senior Economist Michael Gordon told Mike Hosking there are worrying trends.  

He says the construction sector is still in a downturn, while manufacturing has seen a fall after a decent first quarter.
