New Zealand's net debt has experienced a slight increase, reaching 43.30% as of July 2025, according to the latest figures updated on December 16, 2025. This marks a 0.6% rise from the previous indicator, which was recorded at 42.70% in January of the same year.

This change in the fiscal landscape comes amidst ongoing efforts by the New Zealand government to manage financial stability and reinforce economic growth. The upward movement in net debt reflects adjustments in governmental fiscal policies and external economic conditions that had impacted the finance sector over the first half of the year.

Stakeholders and financial analysts are closely monitoring these shifts, as the government strategizes on maintaining economic resilience and continues to evaluate fiscal policies that could potentially influence the net debt trajectory in the near future.
