How to transfer wealth and immigrate to New Zealand, what you need to know

According to a report recently released by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC), one of the Big Four accounting firms, nearly 80% of investment visa holders use "threshold funds" to purchase government or on corporate bonds.

In the early years, this choice was indeed a wise choice. The reason is that the yield level of New Zealand government bonds ranks first among developed countries. With the passage of time, from 1985 to 2017, the interest rate was as high as 19.2% and as low as 2.12%. It currently remains at 3.35%. In other words, New Zealand’s national debt, which is now close to the lowest level, can no longer take the lead in bringing benefits to investment immigrants.

The main reason for the continuous decline of New Zealand government bonds is that the central government's finances are close to surplus, so it no longer makes sense to raise funds through bond issuance.
