NZ Can't Rely on Geographic Isolation for Security, Luxon Says The notion that New Zealand's geographical isolation provides a reliable means of economic security has been challenged by National Party leader Christopher Luxon.
While it's true that our island nation has historically enjoyed some level of protection from global economic turmoil due to its remote location, this is no longer the case in today's interconnected world.
Geographic isolation has limitations and potential risks that New Zealand investors need to be aware of. Historically, our economy was relatively self sufficient, with limited trade links to other countries.
