I think Bill English refer to this during the GFC - NZ households were doing so well at belt tightening and paying down debt that they weren't spending as much in the economy as predicted. The government was doing the same with its zero budgets.

Hopefully we will see the benefit of this now. Confidence levels are now increasing and lots of people are coming out the GFC with less debt than they went into it with so we should get a good boost.
