S&P recently upgraded outlook

Moody’s Aaa/Aaa (stable)

“New Zealand's credit profile reflects its very strong institutions and policy effectiveness and a strong fiscal position compared to

  • peers. These credit features mitigate external and domestic

vulnerabilities related to high reliance on external financing and elevated household debt.” Feb 2019

Standard & Poor’s AA+/AA (positive)

“The ratings on New Zealand reflect the country's fiscal and monetary policy flexibility, economic wealth and resilience, and stable public policy settings. These strengths provide the country with flexibility to offset potential risks related to its large external imbalances, high household and agriculture sector debt, dependence on commodity income, and financial system stability.” Jan 2019

Fitch AA+/AA (stable)

“New Zealand's ratings are underpinned by very high governance standards, a demonstrated commitment to prudent fiscal management, and a credible policymaking framework that helps manage risks and respond to pressures. The country's high net external debt and elevated household debt are the key weaknesses for the credit profile.” Jan 2019

Environment, Social and Governance (ESG)

  • The New Zealand Government has clearly stated ESG objectives.
  • Many of these are outlined in the Government’s Wellbeing Budget 2019 that focuses on the

wellbeing of people, the health of the environment and the strength of communities.

  • https://treasury.govt.nz/publications/wellbeing-budget/wellbeing-budget-2019
  • The Government is committed to progressing a climate change programme that allows for a

just transition to a low-emissions economy.

  • Cabinet has agreed a policy framework which will drive climate change policy towards low

greenhouse gas emissions and climate resilience in New Zealand.

  • https://www.mfe.govt.nz/climate-change/climate-change-and-government/climate-change-

programme

  • In this context, the Treasury currently has no plans to issue bonds in a specific ESG format.

More broadly, it is cognizant of the contribution that efficient debt funding can make to the Government’s ESG objectives.
