On 28 February 2022 (1 March NZT), New Zealand signed a high quality, comprehensive free trade agreement with the United Kingdom, one of the world's largest economies and an important, long standing partner.
New Zealand enjoys a uniquely close bond with the UK. The NZ-UK FTA will further strengthen our relationship by creating stronger trade and investment ties between our countries.
