In 214 New Zealand signed a CNY/NZD direct convertibility agreement with China. This is expected to further facilitate trade and investment flows. The majority of New Zealand s exports to China are agricultural products whilst most Chinese imports to New Zealand are manufactured goods. ANZ s FDI Strategy Proactively identify specific FDI opportunities by leveraging ANZ NZ s market leading position and capabilities, deep industry knowledge and insights. Conduct regular face-to-face meetings with existing and prospective foreign investors to clearly understand their investment objectives and criteria and focus on building trusted relationships first and then conducting business. Leverage ANZ s Super Regional network and connectivity to provide a whole of bank superior solution to on-board or retain key customers and maximise growth and revenue opportunities.

NZ Economic Update The foundations for solid growth remain in place. Financial conditions are still consistent with 3% growth (growth >3% is not sustainable given supply-side capacity of the economy, which we put at a little under 3%) Commodity prices (ex dairy and forestry) are holding up well A period of consolidation for house prices is welcome after the sharp run-up in 213 There are signs the trend rate of growth (i.e. beyond the business cycle) is higher The economic picture is however becoming more fractured Dairy prices have dropped sharply, as have forestry prices. A sub $6 per kg MS milk price now looks a reality New Zealand s terms of trade peaked in Q2, and history shows commodity price booms tend to be short and sharp House prices whilst rising strongly in annual terms have started to soften Financial conditions a higher NZD and falling commodity prices have tightened Other key drivers of the economic expansion remain. Construction sector activity (projected to lift from 1 to 12% of GDP) is strong; this is supporting SME s in particular Net migration flows (around 1% of the population) are providing considerable impetus The unemployment rate is at a six year low and wage growth is lifting Business and consumer confidence remain elevated and productivity growth is robust Firms continue to express a strong desire to invest and unheralded factors behind NZ s economic upswing remain in play (unlocking natural resources, reasonable political platform, building Asia connectivity, progress in the free-trade arena, a very good collection of microeconomic initiatives and uplifts in productivity growth) The expansion is now maturing from strong growth off lows to moderate growth off better levels The availability of labour as opposed to demand is becoming more relevant as constraints on firms. Risks around the outlook are balanced Upside risks from better migration inflows & construction sector, downside risks from weaker dairy payout & global uncertainties Inflation pressures are benign Construction sector inflation is not spilling over into the broader economy, the high NZD continues to suppress tradable inflation and solid productivity growth is capping service sector inflation However, the RBNZ will remain alert to drivers of medium-term inflation trends (such as a falling unemployment rate) The RBNZ is expected to keep the Official Cash Rate unchanged for the remainder of 214 A tightening bias remains intact and we expect rates to move up again (in a modest fashion) in 215 The NZD has receded from extremes but remains elevated and is expected to do some for a while yet A glaring 3 point yield differential remains on offer with roughly 2/3rds the world (by GDP) still having cash rates sub 1%
