Answer

No specific assessment has been made. The Ministry continuously monitors the health of all of New Zealand’s important trading relationships and provides assessments and advice as required. In the absence of any trade impacts, such assessment or advice is not necessary. Refer to the response to WPQ 35122 (2026).
