There's signs the brain drain could be slowing, according to new reports.
A total of 67,800 citizens left the country in the year to November 2025, many for Australia - for a net loss topping 40,000.
In the year to the November before, the net migration loss of Kiwis reached almost 44,000.
Infometrics chief executive Brad Olsen says most trends have plateaued.
"Instead of seeing huge numbers of Kiwis that have continued to move out - yes, they're still high, but they're not continuing to increase."
