Overseas Equity
More than 97% of New Zealand businesses have less than 1% overseas equity.
Similar to previous years', very few New Zealand businesses have more than 1
percent equity owned by overseas shareholders. New Zealand's largest businesses
are the most likely to have overseas equity. Just over a quarter of enterprises
with 100 or more employees had 50 percent or more overseas equity.
Note that for confidentiality reasons the 100-499 and 500+
