STORYLINE:
New Zealand's resident population provisionally grew by 12,700 or 0.2 percent over the year, to reach 5.12 million on June 30 this year, the country's statistics department Stats NZ said on Tuesday.
This is the lowest annual growth rate since June 1986 when the population barely changed, Stats NZ.
New Zealand's population change is a combination of natural increase (births minus deaths) and net migration (migrant arrivals minus migrant departures), it said.
"The net migration loss combined with a lower natural increase has resulted in this low level of population growth," population estimates and projections acting manager Rebekah Hennessey said in a statement.
In the year ended June 2022, the number of births remained around 61,000 while the number of deaths grew by 10.1 percent to 36,90
