New Zealand immigration declining, emigration increasing

New Zealand continues to experience a slow-down in immigration while, at the same time, increasing numbers of New Zealand citizens are leaving the country, in large part due to more favorable economic conditions in Australia. The average annual net increase has been 12,200 migrants coming into the country, as recorded for the years ending in December 1990-2006.
