Recently the New Zealand Export Credit Office (NZECO) has been supporting export transactions into the Pacific region.
Last year New Zealand exporters, seeking to insure against the risk of a Pacific buyer not paying for their goods, found it increasingly difficult to obtain cover from the private insurers. The government extended the mandate of the NZECO to enable it to provide short-term trade credit cover on creditworthy buyers that the private insurers lack the capacity or willingness to insure.

|
Monday, 21 December 2009 15:41 |
|
The intent of this publication is to keep clients abreast of economic and market developments in the region at a higher frequency than our current flagship Pacific Quarterly report. We will continue to publish the latter around mid-month in February, April, August and November, and will publish the Pacific Monthly Update during the in-between months. As always, feedback on our research products is most welcome. Alex Sinton ANZ
Highlights
Inflation pressures remain generally benign across the region. The exception is Fiji, where the effects of the devaluation continue to drive inflation higher.
Trade flows remain depressed with double-digit declines the norm in all countries reporting data this month.
In contrast, tourism flows are starting to look better on a sequential basis, although the picture is far from uniformly bright across the Pacific.
Pacific currencies have generally held steady against the USD over the past month, but have weakened against AUD. ANZ Pacific Monthly Update – December 2009
