Bank sees growing optimism but warns against boom
The Nations Bank notes signs of improving conditions including strong work, building materials, and skilled labour, yet cautions that export earnings and capital inflows must sustain growth. It cites higher export income in 1950/51, lower in 1953/64, and emphasizes local production and investment as buoyant, while warning that even modest shocks could trigger a downward revision in expectations.
