Federal Labor will continue to pursue the government to do more to support the economy, even though the Reserve Bank has indicated it believes the growth slow down has bottomed out.

The economy was a key focus for the parliament last week after the International Monetary Fund cut its growth forecast for Australia to 1.7 per cent from 2.1 per cent.

"We certainly think there are things the government could be doing to improve confidence in the economy ... that they would acknowledge for a start there are problems in the economy," Labor's finance spokeswoman Katy Gallagher told Sky News on Sunday.
