New Zealand has attracted world-wide attention for its series of economic reforms introduced between since 1984. This work provides a concise, up-to-date record of New Zealand's economic performance during the 25 years leading up to 1984, of each of the major reforms that took place after 1984, and of the impact these reforms had on key macroeconomic indicators. Like its predecessor, "A Briefing on the New Zealand Macroeconomy 1960-1990" , this work provides data and graphs of more than 45 key indicators of macroeconomic performance in New Zealand over the last 35 years. The economic commentary has been expanded to include a description of New Zealand's recent economic reforms within their historical context, under the following headings: international trade, monetary policy, fiscal policy, and industry reform labour policy. A comprehensive bibliography provides a guide to further reading. It is intended for academics and policy makers.
