New Zealand

Economy - overview:
Over the past 20 years the government has transformed New Zealand from an agrarian economy dependent on concessionary British market access to a more industrialized, free market economy that can compete globally.
This dynamic growth has boosted real incomes (but left behind many at the bottom of the ladder), broadened and deepened the technological capabilities of the industrial sector, and contained inflationary pressures.
Per capita income has risen for eight consecutive years and reached $26,000 in 2006 in purchasing power parity terms.
Consumer and government spending have driven growth in recent years, and exports picked up in 2006 after struggling for several years.
Exports are equal to about 24% of GDP, down from 33 percent of GDP in 2001.
Thus far the economy has been resilient, and the Labor Government promises that expenditures on health, education, and pensions will increase proportionately to output.
