新西兰财政部最新发布的选前经济与财政更新显示，政府财政状况有所改善1。预计2026-27年度赤字将降至68亿纽元，较5月预算中预测的114亿纽元大幅下降1。同时，未来四年政府借贷规模预期将减少150亿纽元1。经济增长方面，6月季度国内生产总值增长0.2%，3月季度增长0.9%，同比增长1.7%1，年度通胀率则回升至4.1%1。
然而，数据背后隐藏的结构性问题更值得关注。新西兰长期存在的生产率增长乏力成为经济发展的主要瓶颈1。1993年至2013年间，国家生产率平均年增长率为1.4%，但2013年后的十年间这一增速仅为0.2%1。这导致新西兰人均产出远低于最先进经济体1。令人担忧的是，多数选举政策承诺并未针对性地解决这一关键的结构性经济问题1。
New Zealand's Treasury has released pre-election economic projections showing improved fiscal conditions, yet analysis suggests the nation faces a deeper structural challenge that election policies have largely sidestepped. The Treasury forecasts a deficit of NZD 68 billion for 2026-27, down from NZD 114 billion projected in the May budget 1. Government borrowing over the next four years is expected to decline by NZD 150 billion 1, and GDP growth in the June quarter reached 0.2%, following 0.9% expansion in March and 1.7% year-on-year growth 1.
However, beyond these headline improvements lies a troubling long-term pattern. New Zealand's productivity growth has stalled dramatically, increasing just 0.2% over the past decade compared to an average of 1.4% between 1993 and 2013 1. This slowdown has left the nation's per capita output significantly below that of the world's most advanced economies 1. Annual inflation has risen to 4.1% 1. Despite these persistent productivity challenges, most election campaign pledges have failed to address this structural weakness, leaving New Zealand's core economic vulnerability largely unexamined in the political debate.
