Over the past few years, New Zealand has solidified its place among the world’s most attractive countries, particularly for its quality of life and the ideal work-life balance it offers its residents.
A Dynamic economy
New Zealand is a constitutional monarchy with no formal constitution, really stable politically.
New Zealand has an open market economy that works on free market principles and has a very export-driven competitive economy with exports accounting for about 30% of GDP. New Zealand depends heavily on international trade, especially with Australia, China, the European Union, and the United States. For many years its earnings were mainly from farm products, such as wool and dairy products. Today developments such as tourism, film production, and winemaking are also significant.
With a low-inflation environment, New Zealand is the easiest place in the world to start a business and the world’s second easiest country to do business in generally (2019 World Bank) . There are few restrictions on establishing, owning and operating a business here. From the 1980s, New Zealand’s economic reforms freed up the market and removed many barriers to foreign investment
