New Zealand: 2024 Article IV Consultation-Press Release; and Staff Report, (USA: International Monetary Fund, 2024) accessed December 21, 2024

Summary

The New Zealand economy slowed considerably in 2023, following a period of strong growth, and some previous significant imbalances are finally correcting. Tight monetary policy has put inflation on a meaningful downward path but remains high. Some of the overvaluation in housing prices has also reversed. The external balance is slowly improving, though the current account deficit is still large. An ambitious agenda of broad-based reforms is underway by the new coalition government.
