New Zealand's economy grew more than expected between July and September.
But between April and June, it shrank more than previously thought.
GDP rose 1.1% in the September quarter, surpassing all expectation but Stats NZ has revised the numbers for the June quarter, finding GDP actually fell 1%, not the previously-reported 0.9%.
That means the economy shrank 0.5% in the year to September.
