• New Zealand has a free market economy
• This allows dynamic growth which has
boosted real incomes
• New Zealand is heavily dependent on trade
- particularly in agricultural products - to
drive growth
• Thus far the economy has been resilient,
and the Labor Government promises that
expenditures on health, education, and
pensions will increase proportionately to
output.
