U.S. budget deficit surges in May and tops $1 trillion again in current fiscal year

  • New Zealand is expected to have a wide current account deficit of 8.7-9% of GDP for the year to March, which could affect the country's credit rating and contribute to inflation.
  • Government and Reserve Bank stimulus have increased demand for imports, while bad weather, labor shortages, and Covid-era border restrictions have hampered the export of goods and services.
  • The Treasury expects the current account deficit to slowly narrow to 4.6% of GDP by 2025, but higher global interest rates could keep the income deficit under pressure.
