A record 52,500 New Zealand citizens left the country in the year ended March 31, according to Stats NZ. The latest numbers were much higher than the previous record of 44,400 citizen departures, more than a decade ago.“This is the first time the annual net migration loss of New Zealand citizens has exceeded 50,000,” Tehseen Islam of Stats NZ said this morning.
Stats NZ also said the provisional net migration gain of 111,100 in the year comprised a net gain of 163,600 non-New Zealand citizens that more than offset the net migration loss of 52,500 Kiwi citizens. For migrant arrivals in the March 2024 year, citizens of India were the largest group, with 49,800 arrivals. About 31,900 Philippines citizens arrived. About 26,800 arrivals were citizens of China and 25,800 were New Zealand citizens.
