Key Findings

New Zealand ranks 1st in Getting Credit and Protecting Minority Investors, indicating strong regulatory frameworks in these areas.
It also ranks 1st in Registering Property and Starting a Business, showing efficient and streamlined processes.
Paying Taxes ranks 22nd, which is relatively high, but not the best, suggesting room for improvement in tax procedures.
Trading Across Borders ranks 27th, slightly behind the global best performer Singapore, but still performs better than many comparator economies.
Enforcing Contracts ranks 9th, and Resolving Insolvency ranks 28th, both areas where New Zealand has a strong regulatory environment.
The Distance to Frontier (DTF) score for New Zealand is 86.9, indicating it is close to the best regulatory practices globally.

Methodology Notes

The report includes 7 major methodological changes, including the use of distance to frontier scores and updates to the strength of legal rights index and depth of credit information index.
Data for New Zealand is current as of June 1, 2014, with the exception of Paying Taxes, which covers January–December 2013.
The DTF score measures the distance to the best performance in each indicator, with a scale from 0 to 100, where 100 is the frontier.
Comparator economies are used for benchmarking, and the rankings reflect a population-weighted average for economies with data from multiple cities.
"No practice" marks are assigned to economies that lack regulations or where regulations are not implemented.

Conclusion

New Zealand is among the top-performing economies in the Doing Business 2015 report, excelling in areas such as starting a business, registering property, getting credit, and protecting minority investors. It maintains a high DTF score and ranks well in most indicators, demonstrating a regulatory environment that is conducive to business operations. While it has some room for improvement in paying taxes and trading across borders, it is generally aligned with best practices and offers a favorable business climate.
