Macroeconomic and financial situation of New Zealand as of June 30, 2016
New Zealand has a good economic performance in mid-2016, despite the severe difficulties in its dairy sector, which accounts for 23.5% of exports. Current growth is driven by dynamic immigration (+68,000 net migrants in one year) and the construction sector. The weakness of short-term inflation does not seem worrying. On the other hand, medium and long-term vulnerabilities are still present both because of the sharp rise in real estate prices and because of the persistent weakness of national savings which leads to dependence on external financing.

farmers through cash loans while waiting for price improvements.
Driven by construction, tourism, less affected agricultural sectors7 and immigration, growth in
2016 should nevertheless be maintained at a pace close to that of 2015 according to the government (which anticipates
+ 2.6%) while the IMF was less optimistic in its April 2016 forecast (2%).
In the medium term, a rebound in dairy prices seems necessary for a further acceleration of growth.
The Ministry of Primary Industries, however, does not expect world prices to rise before the end of 2017.
On the other hand, the plateau and then the gradual decline in post-earthquake reconstruction expenditure should weigh
on the construction sector.


Monetary policy remains accommodative and supports the economy.
The government has chosen a strategy of progressive consolidation of public finances, the
planned budget surpluses as of 2016/17 and subsequent years to help reduce debt
however, a moderate amount2 (35% of GDP gross and 25% net, the objective being to
reduce net debt to 20% in 2020). The 2016/17 budget, deliberately "boring" according to the press,
shows no support for activity by the medium-term fiscal leverage, in a country characterized by
low taxation and a strong reluctance to public spending.
In contrast, the RBNZ's monetary policy continues to be accommodative. The Reserve Bank of
New Zealand gradually lowered its key rate, starting in June 2015, with adjustments

from 3.25% to 2.25%. This method, which is reminiscent of that of the US Fed, has allowed a good
anticipation by markets and precise adjustments.
This trend is justified by inflation (nominal CPI) of only 0.3%, far from the target of
2% fixed by the central bank since 2012 (mid-point of a band of 1 to 3% 8

government. According to the central bank, the current situation could lead to a reduction

but remain below 2% in the next 2 to 3 years. RBNZ expects to reach inflation target

No unconventional tools have been put in place since the global financial crisis, piloting

are traditionally higher to attract external savings.

New Zealand is characterized by its low national savings rate (almost zero rates) and the small
size of its non-banking financial sector. The four big banks (all group subsidiaries

to be dependent on external financing.
Net investment liabilities were -65% of GDP in 2014, and improved due to higher deposits
and the payment of Canterbury Region post-earthquake insurance benefits (NIIP of -85% in
2009). The balance of payments deficit (permanent since 1973) and regular capital outflows

New Zealand has increased its exports of meat, fruit and wine to France by
2015 (respectively € 14 million, € 5.9 million and € 3.5 million) to try to limit the impact of the fall in the price of milk.
This development is comparable to that observed vis-à-vis its other export markets. However,
despite the performance, the results are not sufficient to offset the significant losses related to
exports of dairy products (- € 29 million). In total, thanks to the better competitiveness of our own
products (dairy products and wines, ie + € 10 million and + € 4 million), the balance improved by € 37 million for France
