New Zealand Issuers Roundtable (August 2026)
Despite domestic worries about a fragile economy, persistent inflation and higher interest rates, New Zealand still appears an oasis of calm to most of the rest of the world. In July GlobalCapital gathered a panel of treasury officials and bankers to discuss domestic and offshore funding, global fixed income demand, portfolio diversification and New Zealand’s appeal to international investors.
