Centrix credit indicator July 2023

Every month Centrix releases the ‘Credit Indicator Report', which analyses New Zealand's credit data, focusing on emerging trends and their possible impacts.

This report helps paint a picture of the current economic climate and consumer confidence. 

The July Credit Indicator shows an improvement in consumer credit arrears. Meanwhile, company liquidations are continuing to rise, particularly in the building, retail, and manufacturing sectors.

July 2023 highlights are as follows: 

• The number of people that are behind on their payments has improved to 414,000.
• Mortgage delinquencies fell slightly in June but are still up 34% year-on-year.
• Consumers under the age of 25 are among those hit hardest by the cost-of-living crisis.
• Company liquidations are continuing to rise, up 36% year-on-year.
