There was a net addition to New Zealand’s population from permanent and long-term migration flows in August of 960 people. This was 350 more than in August 2005 and takes the annual net migration gain to 12,500 compared with 6,613 a year ago and a low point for this recent cycle of 5,987 in October last year.
