Stats NZ Population indicators manager Tehseen Islam says, “Covid-19 related travel and border restrictions introduced in March 2020 in NZ resulted in disrupted travel and migration patterns. Migrant arrivals have dropped to levels seen in the early 1990s, and migrant departures have dropped to levels seen in the late 1990s.
Islam maintains that migration gains or losses are typically due to a combination of factors, which include relative economic and labour market conditions between NZ and the rest of the world and immigration policy in NZ and other countries.”
