The Finance Minister, Bill English says New Zealand is on the road to recovery.
But although house prices have stabilised, other signs of a healthy economy look far more patchy.
Retail sales have been flat, exports are being hit by a high dollar and perhaps most worryingly, unemployment is expected to remain relatively high for the next three years.
Despite the Government's glee that the worst may be over, the New Zealand economy is still in a hole - just not as deep as it was.
Business Reporter, Naomi Mitchell looks at what lies ahead and the financial reality for companies and wage slaves.

8:12 am Sunday 19 February: Christchurch - a year after the February earthquakes
It has been a year since Christchurch was rocked by the devastating earthquake which hit the city on February 22 2011.
With thousands of homes due for demolition, the central city cordoned off, and investigations still underway into why so many people died, what do the people of Christchurch see happening in the years ahead.
Radio New Zealand's Bridget Mills and Rachel Graham find out how the earthquakes have changed the way people go about their work and home life, how businesses are coping, and how a city recovers from one of the worst natural disasters New Zealand has ever seen.
