About this listen
New migration numbers may be painting a bleak picture of our economy.
New Zealand saw it's highest net migration loss to Australia in the year to December in more than a decade - with 30 thousand leaving.
Overall net migration for the May 2025 year levelled out at a gain of just under 15 thousand.
But ASB Senior Economist Mark Smith told Andrew Dickens net migration is normally about a 30 thousand person inflow.
He says over the past few years, there's been a sharp slowdown in the number of people coming in, and we've also seen record numbers leaving - which reflects the weakness in the economy.
