In this book, you'll receive over 200 questions that New Zealand business owners ask to navigate their business journey. Whether you’re starting a new business, or are already at the helm of a fourth generation kiwi business rarity, the one thing we can all agree to, is the 21st century is ­shaping up to be a whole lot different to the 20th century. By asking better quality questions and you'll get better quality answers in the face of the unprecedented change that is about to affect us. The ‘stack ‘em high, one size fits all’ factory model is ­disappearing in front of our eyes, just as a diaspora of interest groups are popping up with needs and desires ready to be fulfilled by businesses like yours. That change in how we arrange ourselves as a society is ­flowing through to how businesses address those groups, and that is impacting our marketing, our manufacturing and everything else in between. You can fight to protect the ­status quo (and ultimately lose) or engage in the most important kiwi business revolution of our time.

Published since 1950, this authoritative annual reference is based on a unique IMF database that tracks exchange and trade arrangements for 187 IMF member countries, along with Hong Kong SAR, Aruba, and Curaçao and Sint Maarten. The Annual Report on Exchange Arrangements and Exchange Restrictions (AREAER) draws together information available to the IMF from a number of sources, including during official IMF staff visits to member countries. There is a separate chapter for each of the 189 countries included, and these are presented in a clear, easy-to-read tabular format. A summary table allows for simple cross-country comparisons of key features of their exchange and trade regimes. The report's introduction summarizes recent global trends and developments. It discusses such topical issues as exchange rate arrangements, current or capital transactions, or prudential regulations. The individual country chapters outline exchange measures in place, the structure and setting of exchange rates, arrangements for payments and receipts, procedures for resident and nonresident accounts, mechanisms for import and export payments and receipts, controls on capital transactions, and provisions specific to the financial sector. The report now provides more detailed information on the operations of foreign exchange markets and exchange rate mechanisms and better describes the regulatory framework for current and capital account transactions.
