Climate Leaders CoalitionThis month, we bid farewell to Kirk Hope and warmly welcomed Katherine Rich as the new Chief Executive of Business New Zealand. Katherine brings a wealth of experience in policy and advocacy, having led the New Zealand Food & Grocery Council (NZFGC) for several years, following a nine-year tenure in Parliament. She also has deep knowledge of New Zealand’s export sector, having represented the NZFGC on the GS1 Board, served as a member of the New Zealand International Business Forum, and spent five years on the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) as a New Zealand representative. During her time with ABAC, Katherine focused on reducing non-tariff barriers for exporters across the region—a priority that many exporters will surely appreciate.ExportNZ
ExportNZLast month, shipping costs spiked, this month is it electricity prices surging due to a perfect storm of low lake levels, low wind generation, and low gas supplies. While electricity and shipping costs are currently below their highest peaks, costs remain high and are putting unnecessary pressure on exporters and businesses.

ExportNZThis past month saw shipping costs on the rise again as rebels continue to threaten the Red Sea shipping lanes and routes continue to be diverted around the Cape of Good Hope. US President Biden’s decision not to run for re-election has added another twist in the US Presidential Elections – you can find ExportNZ’s perspective on both topics in our Trade & Policy Update below.ExportNZ

ExportNZWe had some great news overnight as the EU-NZ Free Trade Agreement passed its third and final reading. The Bill will now receive Royal Assent from the Governor-General bringing it into law and completing the ratification process. Next step – Entry into Force (Which we understand will be on the 1st May). Keep an eye out as we’re working with some great partners on a few EU - focused events and bits of materials in the lead up!ExportNZ
ExportNZThere was little in the media about Trade Minister Hon Todd McClay’s visit to the UAE last week. But it seems to have been successful. New Zealand negotiators are apparently in the UAE in the final stages of the negotiation of the FTA this week. There is talk of a high-level visit to New Zealand from the UAE next week. This all suggests that we might be on the verge of finalising another FTA. Australia has also been negotiating with the UAE, and earlier this week, it announced that both parties had reached an agreement that would eliminate 99% of tariffs on Australian goods being imported into the UAE.ExportNZ
