New Zealand's finance minister said on Friday there will be a time when more stimulus would be needed to boost the economy that has taken a hit due to the impact of the coronavirus.
"There will come a time when we will need some more stimulus in the economy. There are a range of options available on how to do that," Grant Robertson said in a news conference, adding that no decisions have been taken yet on how more stimulus would be added.
New Zealand recorded five new cases of COVID-19 on Friday taking the total to 1,456. There was one more death, taking fatalities to 17.
