新西兰2022年12月的贸易逆差为4.75亿新西兰元,为七个月来最低,低于2021 12月的9.93亿新西兰元。商品出口增长11%,达到67亿新西兰元,主要是奶粉、黄油和奶酪;酪蛋白和酪蛋白酸盐;和葡萄酒。与此同时,由于飞机和零部件的购买,货物进口增长了1.8%,达到72亿新西兰元。考虑到2022年全年,出口额跃升14%,至722亿新西兰元,主要是乳制品、肉类和其他动物产品的销售,尽管许多主要出口商品数量有所减少,但价格有所上涨。然而,占出口总额28%的奶粉、黄油和奶酪销售额增长了21%,达到206亿新西兰元的新高。这一增长是由价格驱动的,数量下降了7.3%。在价格居高不下的情况下,总进口也大幅增长23%,达到867亿新西兰元,使2022年的贸易赤字达到145亿新西兰元。这几乎是2021 71亿新西兰元缺口的两倍。
New Zealand recorded a trade deficit of NZD 475 million in December 2022, the lowest in seven months, and below a NZD 990.3 million gap in December of 2021. Goods exports rose 11% to NZD 6.7 billion, led by milk powder, butter, and cheese; casein and caseinates; and wine. Meanwhile, goods imports increased at a slower 1.8% to NZD 7.2 billion, prompted by purchases of aircraft and parts. Considering full 2022, exports jumped 14% to NZD 72.2 billion, led by sales of dairy, meat and other animal products although many major export commodities eased in volume but saw price increases. Yet, sales of milk powder, butter, and cheese which account for 28% of total exports jumped 21% to reach a new high of NZD 20.6 billion. This increase was price driven, as quantities fell 7.3%. Total imports also rose sharply by 23% to NZD 86.7 billion amid high prices, pushing the 2022 trade deficit to NZD 14.5 billion, nearly twice the NZD 7.1 billion gap in 2021.
