Abstract: New Zealand’s economy was finding its footing in early 2026 after a period of prolonged slow growth, before the onset of the war in the Middle East. The New Zealand economy is being subjected to frequent shocks, underscoring the importance of the strong policy framework that underpins macroeconomic stability: a flexible exchange rate regime, strong fiscal buffers, and a credible central bank.
