With so many in the finance industry caught unaware during that global financial crisis from eight years ago, Wewege reasoned that those who have not yet had the benefit of access to rigorous academic programs are naturally placed in a far more precarious situation during times of financial crisis.

Unlike many larger OECD countries, New Zealand did not suffer the severe recession that hit most of its peers. Many investors and others wondered why and this was largely due to the strict banking and lending standards that New Zealand has in place. This regulatory environment meant that the subprime loan market, which caused the recession, didn’t affect the country, since New Zealand had virtually no subprime market to begin with. When a country’s banks are not making risky loans, the effects from an economic slowdown are not nearly so severe as they inevitably must be in other countries that do have […]
The Global Credit Crunch had relatively little effect on the New Zealand banking sector. In part, this fortunate stability was a result of the health of the country’s financial market and lending sector, which always faced much sterner regulation and control than many other countries during the boom years between 2002 and 2007. For such reasons, since the 1990s, New Zealand has been the destination of choice for global investors, who have been well rewarded for their faith.
Unlike the situation in the United States and Europe, New Zealand companies more often than not pay out a significant proportion of their earnings as dividends. Consequently, investing in New Zealand feels rather like the “good old days” for many international investors. Investing long term for the dividend income used to be the predominant reason that international investors got involved in shares. But around 1970 the focus became capital growth, a focus that has remained predominant internationally to this day. One of the good things about New Zealand shares is that paying out a high proportion of earnings to investors […]

Fortunately, the Global Credit Crunch had relatively little effect on the New Zealand banking sector. A striking contributory cause was the health of the New Zealand financial market, due largely to the quality of its lending sector. In New Zealand, this has faced much sterner regulation and control than had, regrettably, become the norm in many other OECD countries during the property boom years of 2002-2007. Another huge attraction today, when considering safety for global investors, is New Zealand’s secure social and political environment, which has very largely stayed constant throughout the past 150 years. Politically, both of the two main […]
