Doing business in New Zealand
New Zealand has stable institutions and good governance. The World Bank rates it number 1 out of 190 countries for ease of doing business (World Bank, 2019). It has an efficient and competitive economy, an efficient tax regime, an open political system and investment in innovation.
The UK and New Zealand share a common language and culture, as well as business and legal practices such as intellectual property (IP) protection and the rule of law.
New Zealand is a highly educated, wealthy and tech-savvy market with a population of almost 5 million people. It’s the ideal place to test and develop new products or services. Around half of the total population live in New Zealand’s 3 major cities of Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch (Stats NZ, 2018). This makes it easy to prioritise where to do market research of your product or service.
Some of the key market sectors for UK businesses looking to trade with New Zealand are:
- Agri technology
- Fintech
- Infrastructure
- Technology
- E-commerce
