A welcome home of sorts ... with annual migration by New Zealand citizens overtaking non-citizens for the first time since records began
A welcome home of sorts ... with annual migration by New Zealand citizens overtaking non-citizens for the first time since records began
15 March 2021
Provisional Stats NZ data shows overall net migration was 33-thousand-200 for the year to January.
Almost 21-thousand were New Zealand citizens.
It bucks historical trends and is clearly driven by Covid-19, with monthly gains driven by New Zealand citizens since last April.
The numbers are also smaller than normal ... especially compared to the year to January 2020 overall net migration was almost 78-thousand.
