An incomplete picture remains of the impact of Cyclone Gabrielle on regional economies. Infometrics' latest Quarterly Economic Monitor shows a 2.7 percent per annum rise in provisional economic activity in the first quarter of the year. Principal Economist Brad Olsen says at the same time the likes of Hawke's Bay, Tairawhiti and Northland have seen their economic activity down between 0.7 and 0.8 percent.
