Well I never, who'd have thunk! 🤷

If you’re feeling concerned about petrol prices, you’re not alone. We know it’s tough, and the last thing any household needs right now is more pressure on the budget.
While these pressures are global, New Zealand is in a stronger position to handle the impact of conflict in the Middle East than we were two years ago, because of the steps we have taken to rebuild the economy.
We will continue to manage the economy responsibly and support Kiwis through this unpredictable time, delivering the steady economic management needed to minimise the impact on households.

The conflict in the Middle East will have an impact on the economy, but NZ is starting from a much stronger position now than was the case a few years ago under Labour - when debt had reached $120b, inflation was at a 32 year high of 7.3%, and skyrocketing mortgage repayments and higher taxes were weighing Kiwis down.

@NZNationalParty Why did National double the national debt between 2008 and 2012?

Getting economic management wrong during the Iran conflict will have long-lasting consequences that are difficult to unwind.
We saw this in the aftermath of Covid where decisions led to debt reaching $120b and inflation hitting a 32 year high. This saw mortgage rates and other prices skyrocket. Kiwis are still grappling with the effects of that today. National wants to ensure those mistakes are avoided.
Responsible economic management matters most when the world is volatile and unpredictable. By fixing the basics in the economy, we have been repairing the post-covid damage done by Labour:
- We’ve reined in wasteful spending saving taxpayers $43b to date in unnecessary expenses
- This has lowered interest rates, meaning Kiwis’ average mortgage repayments are down by as much as $10,000
- We’ve lowered taxes, and,
- Our economy has been growing again, which means exporters and businesses doing well and more job opportunities. Latest data shows 1.1% growth over the last 6 months of 2025 with growth still expected to continue, even with the conflict.
Sticking to National’s careful economic plan is how we can best insulate New Zealand and New Zealanders against this global shock and protect New Zealand’s future.

@NZNationalParty I assume you'll borrow the money because you don't earn enough in tax revenue, your main source of income. Did you know if you set the taxes correctly you don't need to borrow money. Borrowing money costs the public a fortune in interest. 🤷

@NZNationalParty We've got enough covid too. More on the way

New Zealand currently has enough fuel, and more on the way, but the Middle East conflict has disrupted fuel supply around the world.
Our Government is working hard to be ready for a scenario where it’s more difficult to get fuel into the country, so that we can help protect Kiwis whose jobs and incomes rely on fuel.
