  12. Economic Factors • New Zealand is the furthermost country from the rest of the world ( i.e. the Northern Hemisphere) • And is quite small • This means that as a country, our economy depends on the needs and wants of other countries

  13. A High New Zealand Dollar • When the New Zealand dollar is valued highly against the US dollar then: • Imports are cheaper into the country. This is because we can get more for our money. • Exporters don’t get as much money as the people who buy their products can not buy as much, so they don’t.

  14. A Low New Zealand Dollar • When the New Zealand dollar is valued low against the US dollar then: • Imports are more expensive to get into the country. This is because we get less for our money. • Exporters earn more as the people who buy their products can buy more, so they do.
