New data released on June 2, 2025, highlights an impressive upturn in New Zealand's terms of trade with a significant rise in export prices during the first quarter of the year. After closing at 3.2% in the fourth quarter of 2024, the indicator has shown remarkable growth, now standing at 7.1%.
This surge reflects New Zealand's strengthened position in international trade, potentially pointing to higher demand for its goods in global markets. The marked improvement may benefit various sectors and signal a positive trajectory for the country's economic health. Analysts will be watching closely to see how this increased export strength affects the broader New Zealand economy moving forward.
