Free people, Free markets and the strongest multicultural society gives New Zealand top position from 149 countries in the Global Prosperity Index.
New Zealand is a small country, and we manage to outperform globally in many ways. The latest achievement for our island nation: New Zealand takes the top spot in the Prosperity Index!
For the past six years New Zealand has ranked first in the Prosperity Index. Except for a small drop in 2008’s financial crisis and Canterbury earthquakes, New Zealand has come out really well.
New Zealand’s rise to the top has been driven by a well-formed and stable government. As opposed to what the opposition thinks, New Zealand has excelled in economic and health policies.
