New Zealand experienced its largest annual net migration loss to Australia since 2013, according to data from Stats NZ for 2022. The figures show a net migration loss of 13,400 people from New Zealand to Australia, with 33,863 people migrating from New Zealand to Australia and 20,431 moving in the opposite direction.
