Potential Impacts on the. New Zealand Economy of the Outcome in Services The services commitments that New Zealand has made to the ASEAN countries are all within existing policy settings. In practice, therefore, those sectors covered by such commitments are already open to foreign competition. It is not expected that the binding of this degree of openness to the ASEAN countries in AANZFTA will have any adverse impact on the New Zealand economy. Trade in services and particularly the impact of changes in the conditions faced by service suppliers is more difficult to measure compared to trade in goods. Many analyses rely on surveys and other qualitative data, rather than quantitative material. Such analyses are therefore difficult to quantify in a meaningful way beyond the general sectoral headings. For instance, services trade statistics may not take account of the sales taking place in another market through the commercial presence of a New Zealand firm there. This is due to the inherent difficulty in collecting disaggregated services data and also because of confidentiality issues related to the collection of services statistics. There are some services sectors like tourism and education however, where some quantitative material is available. New Zealand’s services trade has expanded in recent years, particularly in the sectors of tourism and education. In 2007, almost 87,000 tourists from ASEAN countries visited New Zealand, making it one of New Zealand’s larger tourism markets. In the area of education, ASEAN student numbers studying in New Zealand have grown to over 7,800 in 2007. AANZFTA therefore provides a good base on which to build and expand services trade as ASEAN economies develop and open further to foreign service providers. ASEAN member economies are rapidly growing and most are still developing their domestic services industries. This creates opportunities for New Zealand services exporters, but also brings challenges given the fact that many of New Zealand’s services exporters are small niche operators which struggle to establish a presence in external markets. Given their relatively small size, the additional certainty and transparency for services provided by AANZFTA is especially important to New Zealand services suppliers. This will provide them with greater confidence and certainty that the “rules of the game” will not change to their disadvantage. This in turn provides the opportunity for them to deepen and broaden their engagement within the region, build ne...

Potential Impacts on the. New Zealand Economy of the Outcome on Investment As noted in section 2.2.1, the investment relationship between New Zealand and the ASEAN countries is growing quickly, having trebled since 2002. In the case of AANZFTA, and given there is no market access outcome for investment agreed at this point, the outcome will still have positive benefits for New Zealand in two inter-related ways: “signalling”; and broader dynamic effects. In terms of “signalling”, the AANZFTA outcome, including the added-value of the investment protections (ie over and above existing conditions for New Zealand investors and investments into the region), is expected to generate greater interest in New Zealand both as a source of investment into the region, but also as a location for investment from the region. More generally, investment flows in both directions have a number of benefits which the investment protections negotiated in AANZFTA can help maintain and facilitate. These benefits include those direct capital and portfolio flows – ie the ‘static’ and traditional macro-economic benefits from investment. These in turn help drive dynamic productivity gains including the way in which investment can attract and support innovation, including through the transfer of managerial skills and advanced technical know-how. Improved and adaptable skills and new organisational techniques, technologies and management practices can yield competitive benefits and enhance factor productivity for countries like New Zealand as well as help sustain employment as economic and technological conditions change overtime. The Investment Chapter contains a range of protection elements which relate in particular to the equitable treatment of investments once established in the host market and introducing new commitments on protections for investments in those countries where such commitments do not yet exist for New Zealand. At a time when New Zealand government policy is focusing on the potential gains to New Zealand of increased outward investment, AANZFTA provides a credible regional legal framework for investors and their investments at an opportune time. Given the importance of the availability of foreign capital and opportunities for internationalisation of New Zealand business in New Zealand’s economic development, a growing bilateral investment relationship with the ASEAN economies resulting from AANZFTA can be expected to have a positive impact on the New Zealand economy. The AANZFTA outcome does n...
