New Zealand, a land of service sector is the largest sector, manufacturing and construction, farming and raw material



Numerous opportunities are available for who wants to seize them. New Zealand is a mature market of + 4 million consumers capable to consume services.
New Zealand's economy focused at different times on sealing, whaling, flax, gold, kauri gum, and native timber.

New Zealand has experienced a series of "brain drains" since the 1970s that still continue today.
New Zealand is heavily dependent on international trade, particularly in agricultural products.  New Zealand is vulnerable to international commodity prices and global economic slowdowns. 

Its major export partners are Australia, United States, Japan, China, and the United Kingdom. On 7 April 2008, New Zealand and China signed the New Zealand–China Free Trade Agreement, the first such agreement China has signed with a developed country.
The service sector is the largest sector in the economy, followed by manufacturing and construction and then farming and raw material extraction.

Tourism is also at the core of stakes; contributing nearly $12.9 billion to New Zealand's total GDP and supporting nearly 7.5% of the total workforce in 2016.
In 2015, renewable energy, primarily geothermal and hydroelectric power, generated 40.1% of New Zealand's gross energy supply. 

The provision of water supply and sanitation is generally of good quality. Regional authorities provide water abstraction, treatment and distribution infrastructure to most developed areas.

New Zealand's transport network comprises 94,000 kilometres (58,410 mi) of roads, including 199 kilometres (124 mi) of motorways, and 4,128 kilometres (2,565 mi) of railway lines. Most major cities and towns are linked by bus services, although the private car is the predominant mode of transport.

Chorus, which was split from Telecom in 2011, still owns the majority of the telecommunications infrastructure, but competition from other providers has increased. As of 2016, the United Nations International Telecommunication Union ranks New Zealand 13th in the development of information and communications infrastructure.
