Demand for New Zealand government bonds reached its highest level since 2013 following the election results, which alleviated concerns about the country’s fiscal stability. In the auction of a bond maturing in April 2037, bids totalled NZ$932 million for only NZ$125 million on offer, producing a 7.45 coverage ratio.
