Construction and services have been key contributors to growth in recent years. Construction has been driven by earthquake-
related rebuilding in Canterbury and residential building to cater for the rising population.
Services across the spectrum have performed well, with particularly strong growth in professional and financial services, health
and tourism.
■ Tourism is now our largest export earner and has seen strong growth in arrivals from many regions, including China and the
United States. Demand has been boosted by the expansion of airline capacity/routes as oil prices fell and New Zealand's
reputation as a safe haven destination.
Dairy farm production directly accounts for around 2.5% of NZ GDP (4.5% including upstream/ downstream impacts and 7% if
including dairy manufacturing)
