Growth and Exposure: How to Assess the New Zealand-China Trade Relationship in 2022?

New Zealand China Council Podcast

In late April the New Zealand China Council released a report commissioned from Sense Partners, “In Perspective: The New Zealand-China Trade and Business Relationship 2022 Update”. Amongst other findings, the report confirmed that China’s share of New Zealand’s global goods exports reached 32.6% in 2021. How we assess this situation and what it means for our exporters were the key themes of a webinar marking the launch of the report. The webinar included a briefing by report author John Ballingall, and a discussion with Andy Wotton, Chief Operating Officer at Kono, and Simon Tucker, Fonterra’s Director Global Sustainability, Stakeholder Affairs and Trade, moderated by Council Executive Director Alistair Crozier. This podcast is a recording of the webinar, which was jointly hosted by the Council and the North Asia Centre of Asia-Pacific Excellence.
