About GDP growth (annual %) — New Zealand
DEFINITION
New Zealand's GDP Growth (Annual %) rose to 0.462872% in 2025, reversing from a contraction of -0.868722% in 2024. This marks a clear economic rebound after a year of decline. Market focus will remain on upcoming quarterly data to assess the sustainability of this recovery. Updated 7/1/26
WHY THIS INDICATOR MATTERS
Aggregate growth figures anchor cyclical positioning across asset classes and inform fiscal and monetary policy debate. Surprises against consensus typically move rates and currencies on release. Released annually.
WHAT'S NEXT
Sigmacast's 1-month forecast points to a materially higher reading versus the latest print, with the 3-month outlook reinforcing that direction. Both horizons are aligned bearish for this indicator, suggesting a consistent trend signal. Trend-driven dynamics are the primary tailwind in the current projection. This indicator correlates most strongly with NZD/USD (Bullish NZD, r=0.55) — a useful reference for forex-focused traders.
