Slide 7:3Com Confidential 6 PRESENT NEW ZEALAND ECONOMY


:7 The economy of New Zealand is a market economy which is greatly dependent on international trade, mainly with Australia, the European Union, the United States, China and Japan. New Zealand is one of the smallest OECD economies, and is still heavily reliant on temperate agricultural products. It is also strongly focused on tourism and primary industries like agriculture (though both sectors are highly profitable), while having only small manufacturing and high-tech components. Economic free-market reforms of the last decades have removed many barriers to foreign investment, and the World Bank in 2005 praised New Zealand as being the most business friendly country in the world, before Singapore.


:8 GDP $128.141 billion (2007 est.) GDP growth 3.0% (2007 est.) GDP by sector agriculture (4.6%), industry (27.4%), services (68%) (2004 est.) Public finances Public debt $42.84 billion (2005 est.) Revenues $38.29 billion (2004) Expenses $36.12 billion (2004) Main industries Food processing, Textiles, Machinery and Transportation equipment, Finance, Tourism (in NZ), Mining Main export partners (Australia 19.6%, U.S. 14.3%, Japan 11.4%, the People's Republic of China 6.3%, UK 5.1% (2004) )


:9 Foreign trade: According to Statistics New Zealand, exports of goods rose to NZ$36.6bn (US$26.9bn) in 2007, while goods imports stood at NZ$41.9bn. This resulted in a merchandise trade deficit of NZ$5.3bn in 2007, compared with NZ$6.1bn in 2006.


Slide 11:3Com Confidential 10 RECESSION HOW WILL IT AFFECT MY NEW ZEALAND DREAM


:11 New Zealand has entered recession ahead of other OECD countries, a victim of simultaneous domestic and foreign shocks. The outlook remains subdued because the large macroeconomic imbalances built up over the past decade -- inflation, housing overvaluation, high household debt and a huge current account deficit -- will take some time to unwind. The candidates to be hiring now are those who can have an impact and are prepared to work hard to get through the downturn. Employers want people with resilience and optimism. Employers will always look for a staff who will be involved in the business and examining who is a "passenger" or a cost, and who is an investment. Employers will always focus on people who have potential but are finding the current environment more difficult and help them out, and if trims are needed look at the areas that are dragging the business down.
