This Survey is published on the responsibility of the Economic and Development Review Committee of the OECD, which is charged with the examination of the economic situation of member countries.
The economic situation and policies of New Zealand were reviewed by the Committee on 13 May 2019. The draft report was then revised in the light of the discussions and given final approval as the agreed report of the whole Committee on 13 June 2019.
The Secretariat’s draft report was prepared for the Committee by David Carey, Andrew Barker and Carrie Exton under the supervision of Vincent Koen. Statistical research assistance was provided by Isabelle Luong, editorial assistance by Sisse Nielsen and the Survey was prepared for production by Carolina Gonzalez. The Survey also benefitted from contributions by Andrés Fuentes-Hutfilter, Valéry Dugain, Lara Fleischer and Margreet Frieling.
The previous Survey of New Zealand was issued in June 2017.
