New Zealand Current Account deficit widens to $7.4 billion in September
According to self-published statistics from StatsNZ, New Zealand's seasonally adjusted Current Account deficit widened by nearly $400 million to $7.4 billion for the third quarter ended in September. Annualized Current Account for the year into September saw a narrowing, however, contracting to an annualized $30.6 billion, or 7.6% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) compared to the year ended September 2022 of 8.3% of GDP.
According to StatsNZ, the widening of the quarterly Current Account was only partly offset by a $579 million narrowing of the services deficit, compared with the $633 million widening of the goods deficit and an additional $292 million widening of the primary income deficit.
