Annual net migration continued to fall steadily, down to a provisional net gain of 44,100 in the year ended December 2020, with COVID-19-related border and travel restrictions limiting migrant arrivals and departures since March, Stats NZ said today.
“Monthly net migration since March 2020 is a trickle compared with levels seen in recent years and as a result annual net migration is falling,” population indicators manager Tehseen Islam said.
“Far fewer migrants arrived or left the country in 2020, compared with recent years.”

Even with Covid NZ seems to be getting 600 more people a month – where are the houses, roads, public transport, water, schools, new hospitals coming from?
Immigration and government let in over 6000 people per month in 2019 which seems to be a massive mistake…. wonder why 22,000 now are homeless in NZ, many liquidations from people who don’t live in NZ but still seem to have citizenship.
NZ government now owes the biggest amount of borrowing for wage subsidies for an abundance of small business takeaway shops as well as big businesses that are overseas owned and expanding here coining in wages subsidies and still braying for more work permits and immigration! Don’t even mention all the foreign pensioners who get free NZ health care, free NZ aged care and free pensions paid for by working Kiwis who will not qualify for the same benefits going forward as all the money has been eaten up by woke/right wing policy to destroy NZ social welfare by demand.
