New Zealand and Switzerland have today agreed to establish a Trade and Investment Dialogue to explore an agreement on trade, economic security, e-commerce, investment and sustainability, says Trade and Investment Minister Todd McClay.<\/p>\n
The announcement was made following a meeting between Minister McClay and Swiss State Secretary for Economic Affairs Helene Budliger Artieda, in the margins of the Future of Investment and Trade (FIT) Partnership Ministerial Meeting in Auckland. <\/p>\n
\u201cSwitzerland is an important partner for New Zealand and one of the world’s most innovative and advanced economies,\u201d Mr McClay says. \u201cEstablishing a Trade and Investment Dialogue will lead to closer economic cooperation and enhanced collaboration, through bilateral trade and international forums like the World Trade Organization, the OECD and the FIT Partnership.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt a time of growing global economic uncertainty, it is more important than ever that like-minded countries work together to strengthen trade and investment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Two-way trade between New Zealand and Switzerland was worth NZ$1.88 billion in the year ending December 2025. New Zealand exports to Switzerland were NZ$429 million, comprising NZ$100 million in goods and NZ$324 million in services. Key exports included travel services, meat and edible offal, and hides and skins.<\/p>\n
New Zealand imports from Switzerland were NZ$1.45 billion, comprising NZ$624 million in goods and NZ$825 million in services. Key imports included transportation services, pharmaceuticals, clocks and watches, insurance and pension services, and charges for the use of intellectual property.<\/p>\n
Officials will hold their first meeting in September. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
