The migration boom is running at its strongest pace for more than a decade, and risks reigniting the housing market, some economists say.
As the previous exodus to Australia dried up, there was a net migration gain of more than 38,000 people in the June year, according to Statistics NZ figures out yesterday.
Far fewer New Zealanders are leaving for Australia as the job market here picked up rapidly earlier in the year and the Australian labour market looked worse. And many more foreigners are coming to New Zealand.
Permanent arrivals for the June year topped 100,000 for the first time and those leaving dropped to their lowest point in a decade.
In June alone, just as many people arrived in New Zealand from Australia as crossed the Tasman the other way - the first time there has not been a monthly loss to Australia in more than 20 years.
The key factor in trans-Tasman migration is the job market.
