New Zealand's investor confidence remains high

The New Zealand financial regulator Financial Markets Authority (FMA) recently published its annual Investor Confidence Survey. The country endured a lengthly lockdown to eradicate the virus, but investor confidence in it remained quite high, according to the report.

According to the released data, confidence in the markets has remained within the same range for a third consecutive year now. Some people may be surprised, as markets always seem to be deeply affected by lockdowns, sometimes in expected ways.

The FMA conducted this survey between the 5th and 14th May 2020, during the level 3 lockdown in the country. Despite that, 2/3rds of the investors interviewed for the survey remained confident in the local markets.

I don't find that too surprising, New Zealanders likely had faith that business would be easier to conduct if it's not impeded by an epidemic even if the lockdowns caused temporary problems.

What's so amazing about it? In fact, I've never heard anything bad about events in this country. I think it's very stable. And in fact, at a time when the whole world is in some unpredictable and difficult situation, these are the kind of countries that are able to maintain neutrality and are able to show their strong points, attract investors and other positive things. So I think that we should pay attention to this in creating some long-term investment portfolios and some action plans. Because it certainly looks more attractive and more stable, safer, and we strive for comfort in everything - in relationships, in work, in business, etc. in any situation.
