Doing legal business in New Zealand
New Zealand is a highly developed free-market economy. It is the 52nd-largest national economy in the world by gross domestic product (GDP) and the 62nd-largest in the world when measured by purchasing power parity.
New Zealand has a large GDP for its population of five million, and sources of revenue are spread throughout the large island nation.
The country has one of the most globalised economies and depends greatly on international trade, mainly with Australia, Canada, China, the European Union, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and the United States.
New Zealand is also one of the least corrupt countries in the world.
New Zealand's 1983 Closer Economic Relations agreement with Australia means the two economies are closely aligned.
