A favorable exchange rate is creating an added incentive for international productions to consider New Zealand.

During the past 12 months the Kiwi dollar has steadily weakened against the greenback. On August 24 the Kiwi dollar touched 62.44 US cents, its lowest level in over half a decade. Read more about the decline here.

The attractive rate is combined with 20% base grant on qualifying spend, absence of fringes and current capacity for new production, making New Zealand an attractive location for incoming international production.
