NZ trade data earlier today - it was all about the stink bugs (true story)

I posted on the New Zealand trade data earlier, with a surprise trade surplus 'cause of lower imports

OK, now about those imports .... This via Statistics New Zealand

  • "The delay in final unloading of four vehicle carriers at New Zealand ports had an impact on the total value of vehicle imports in February
  • The discovery of stink bugs on these vessels meant that around 8,000 cars could not enter New Zealand as scheduled."

Stink bugs! Ewwwww

(also known as the brown marmorated stink bug)

Pleased to meet ya!
