New Zealand's gross domestic product contracted 1.6 percent on quarter in the first quarter of 2020, Statistics New Zealand said on Thursday.
That missed expectations for a decline of 1.0 percent following the 0.5 percent increase in the previous three months.
Service industries were down 1.1 percent on quarter, while primary industries fell 1.0 percent and goods-producing industries dropped 2.7 percent.
On a yearly basis, GDP was up 1.5 percent - beating expectations for an increase of 0.3 percent and slowing from 1.8 percent in the three months prior.
