New Zealand government debt

The latest official general government figures for New Zealand, as stored in Bullion API’s scheduled cache. Each figure shows its own period. Cached, not live.

Each figure keeps the government scope and definition its publisher uses. Scopes, periods and definitions differ between the United States, the United Kingdom, the euro area and the EU member states, so these figures are not comparable across geographies.

New Zealand general-government gross debt to GDP (Bullion API calculation)Bullion API calculation: New Zealand general-government gross debt under the Government Finance Statistics framework (GFSM), valued at market value at 30 June, divided by the sum of the four matching quarterly actual-current-price GDP observations for the year ended 30 June, multiplied by 100. This broad general-government measure is not Maastricht debt. No new ratio is calculated when any matching GDP quarter is unavailable. A previously stored same-period ratio is retained only when prior debt from the same source proves unchanged value and status; otherwise it is withdrawn.
