ExportNZ Pre-Election Report

The health of New Zealand’s export sector is crucial to the state of our country’s economy. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, New Zealand has experienced ballooning trade deficit and this cannot continue. It is vital, then, that the next Government pays attention to the issues and the opportunities that our exporters see in both the short and long term to ensure New Zealand returns to a trade surplus.

The Exporter – September 2024

This month, we bid farewell to Kirk Hope and warmly welcomed Katherine Rich as the new Chief Executive of Business New Zealand. Katherine brings a wealth of experience in policy and advocacy, having led the New Zealand Food & Grocery Council (NZFGC) for several years, following a nine-year tenure in Parliament. She also has deep knowledge of New Zealand’s export sector, having represented the NZFGC on the GS1 Board, served as a member of the New Zealand International Business Forum, and spent five years on the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) as a New Zealand representative. During her time with ABAC, Katherine focused on reducing non-tariff barriers for exporters across the region—a priority that many exporters will surely appreciate.
