New Zealand/United States investment relations

In the year ending March 2008, the US was the second largest source of Foreign Direct Investment (NZ$10.7 billion) behind Australia (NZ$50.8 billion). In the opposite direction New Zealand firms have invested NZ$3.6 billion in the US.

United States corporate investment in sectors including forestry, aviation, rail, energy and food processing have given several United States firms a direct stake in New Zealand, and contributed to closer business linkages.
