Pessimism about New Zealand's ordsprog

Pessimism about New Zealand's short-term economic prospects and wariness about big spending commitments underlie the fall in consumer confidence.

Historically, shocks have had a short-term impact on consumer confidence, especially on consumers' expectations. Fuel prices remain high, though they have retreated in recent days, and when combined with a weaker job market outlook, will likely curb both confidence and spending for the short run.

Sales in the short term are going to be more governed by the general economic landscape than currency exchange rates or consumer confidence measures. I'm not even sure 'moderate growth' describes the current economic expansion. Tepid is more like it.
