I find a tendency in discussions of taxation to underestimate the taxes paid in other countries. Whenever I read discussions of US taxation in the Aussie press the rates they quote bear no resemblence to the actual rates of tax in the US. They don't understand the US system and so ignore all taxes that don't have Aussie counterparts.

Virtually all New Zealand banks are wholly owned subsidiaries of Australian banks.

Because of this, I suspect a goodly chunk of New Zealand's capital is invested in Australian homes, businesses and infrastructure.

This is one of the problems that occurs when you don't have locally owned banks.

New Zealand money managers may be heavily invested in the US, trying to chase returns, but I would think the US is just one of the many place they invest.
