The Finance Minister says businesses should be more confident about the economic recovery. 

The Reserve Bank's been weighing up lower-than-expected growth and higher inflation in its decision to keep the Official Cash Rate unchanged at 3.25%. 

Nicola Willis says businesses have been battening down the hatches. 

But she told Heather du Plessis-Allan they’re maybe more wary than they should be. 

Willis says all of the fundamentals in the economy are good. 

She says the Government is business-friendly and is on the side of those wanting to invest, make money, create jobs, and export overseas.
