نظرة عامة على السوق

New Zealand's economy is recovering from a shallow recession in 2023-2024, supported by RBNZ interest rate cuts and record net migration. GDP growth is expected to return to 2-3% in 2025-2026. The housing market is recovering from a 15-20% correction (2022-2023) with prices stabilising and beginning to grow in most regions. The construction sector remains active with strong building consent numbers. Key risks include global economic uncertainty, China trade dependency, and inflation persistence.
