Overview
New Zealand's gdp stood at $262.9B in 2025, a rise of +$2.7B from 2024. The IMF projects $262.9B by 2025. New Zealand ranked 54th globally.
New Zealand’s gross domestic product has risen from a modest US$5,536,098,360.50 in 1960 to an all‑time high of US$262,909,000,000.00 in 2025, placing the economy at rank 54 globally. The post‑war trough of US$5,228,045,415.27 recorded in 1968 marked the lowest point of a 66‑year series, after which steady expansion was driven by reforms in agriculture, services and technology. The latest figure of US$262,909,000,000.00 exceeds the output of peer economies such as Iraq (US$265,455,000,000.00) and Hungary (US$247,759,000,000.00), reflecting New Zealand’s relatively high per‑capita productivity despite its small domestic market. Growth has been underpinned by strong export performance in dairy and meat, as well as a resilient tourism sector, although recent supply‑chain disruptions and climate‑related risks pose challenges. Continued investment in green technologies and diversification of trade partners is likely to sustain the upward trajectory, provided external shocks are managed effectively.
