Presentation: New Zealand and China; Trade and Economic Engagement
An open and interactive discussion about the China as New Zealand’s largest trading
partner, largest source of students and second largest source of visitors, so for New Zealand,
economic dependency on China is high: is it reciprocated and at what cost? The FTA was
signed in 2008 and was a significant catalyst for our economic growth, with the impact being
significant for some of New Zealand’s largest corporates – is it as important today. What
does this significant relationship mean for New Zealand SME’s?
