Balance of payments

The balance of payments (BOP) measures the financial transactions between New Zealand residents and the rest of the world.

BOP provides a record of New Zealand's transactions in goods, services, income and transfers with the rest of the world, and net flows of foreign investment in New Zealand, and New Zealand investment overseas.


It draws a series of balances between inward and outward transactions. BOP statistics are released every three months.
