NZD overview

In the Bitcoin to New Zealand dollar pair, BTC is the base currency and the NZD is the counter currency, which means the BTC/NZD chart shows how much one Bitcoin is worth as measured against the New Zealand dollar.

New Zealand boasts of an industrialised free-market economy powered by a highly friendly regulatory environment. The industrialisation has enabled the country to increase production and expand its exports to new markets in South East Asia. Likewise, the favourable business environment continues to attract foreign direct investments mostly from the US, Europe, and Asia.

The positive investor sentiment is reflected in its steadily growing capital markets. Trading Economics further reports that foreign direct investments in the New Zealand stock market reached an all-time high in the second quarter of 2019.

Considered a risk-correlated currency, the New Zealand dollar is exposed to the world’s economic performance and has relatively high interest rates. According to analysts at TD Securities, the NZD is the most undervalued in G10 currencies. Consequently, it is bound to make exports more profitable hence attracting more foreign direct investments.
Those interested in the BTC/NZD pair trading should keep a close watch of crypto market news and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand releases regarding interest rates and monetary policy changes.
