FXStreet (Mumbai) - The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) in its Annual Report 2014-2015 published in early Asia on Monday, revealed that the NZ economy performed better than many advanced economies in recent years. However, the RBNZ Governor Weaker noted that the international forces remain a major influence on the economy.
Key Quotes from RBNZ Governor Wheeler in the report:

New Zealand’s economy has performed better than many advanced economies in recent years.
International forces remain a major influence on the economy.
These include large declines in commodity prices, especially dairy and oil, low international interest rates, and record net immigration levels.
