New Zealand Assessment
New Zealand Country BriefNew Zealand faces a very low corruption risk across its defence institutions. Strong institutional resilience to corruption is built on effective external oversight and transparency of policy-making, financial management and arms acquisitions. Anti-corruption safeguards are also strong for military operations and personnel management, although whistleblower protections could be enhanced and lobbying remains a key area of concern.
