A survey released today suggests almost one in three New Zealanders living overseas are planning to return home, and many will stay for good.
New Zealand needs to do more to engage those arriving back in the country, a business leader says.

With around one million Kiwis living overseas, business leaders believe a once in a generation opportunity is on the horizon for innovation and productivity in the country.
New Zealand company Kea surveyed 4000 New Zealanders who were either living overseas or had recently returned.
Chief executive Toni Truslove said the results show that New Zealand is in the midst of "an amazing opportunity to benefit from the skills, experience and investment of returning and offshore Kiwis".
