New Zealand is seen as good as it gets when it comes to investing in bonds and other interest yielding investments: it is quite simply regarded as the obvious destination for those seeking high quality combined with high yield. Global demand for New Zealand bonds hit record levels in 2013, which has continued throughout 2014.

Foreign ownership of New Zealand government treasuries is heading towards 70%, hardly surprising considering this country’s Aaa/AA/AA credit rating and the significant yield compared to overseas norms.  Back in July, when raising rates for the fourth straight meeting, New Zealand Reserve Bank Governor Graeme Wheeler said: New Zealand’s economy is expected to grow at an annual pace of 3.7 percent over 2014”.  This expected growth rate was also reiterated in the more recent September meeting.

Luigi Wewege, founder & CEO of Auckland based financial institution Vivier & Co, said: “Looking at OECD countries, New Zealand’s stellar growth rate has contributed to its decision to tighten monetary policy. The outlook for future New Zealand bond and treasury issuances just keeps on improving.”

Of course a huge part of the attraction in New Zealand is not just the yield but also its financial safety and secure social and political environment.  Global investors wishing to benefit from high interest rates coupled with New Zealand’s safe haven status can now invest in their own currency via an easy to open Vivier & Co deposit account:  https://vivierco.com/account-opening.
