The relatively low imports arriving in New Zealand this Covid year have helped the deficit between what we get from exports and what we spend on imports to shrink to the lowest level since 2001.
Statistics New Zealand reports that our current account deficit for the year to September 2020 was $2.6 billion, representing 0.8% of our GDP. That compares with a $11.7 billion deficit for the same period up to September 2019.
You have to go back to the end of 2001 for the last time the deficit was so low relative to GDP, while to find a lower figure than the 0.8% you need to go back to 1989.
