We have today published our annual Expanding Horizons report which tracks offshore investors' perceptions of NZ as a market. We included NZ's tax settings for foreign investment in the survey for the first time in 2023, and followed up again this year. While investors have a broadly positive view of the NZ tax system, it is becoming clear to us that the 28% corporate tax rate is perceived as increasingly uncompetitive, as are our tax settings for debt funding acquisitions (thin cap and restricted transfer-pricing rules). Challenging times lie ahead for policymakers in balancing NZ's requirements for foreign capital (including to fund infrastructure) and tax revenue.

Below is our sixth annual M&A report illustrating the continued attractiveness of NZ for overseas investors. It is worth a read. A few other general observations from me: 1. Stock markets internationally aren't considered open to IPOs and frankly there is too much private money around to make them the most attractive exit alternative. There have been very few IPOs internationally and even markets like the London Stock Exchange have recently revisited their rules to try and make IPOs more attactive. 2. There are still fewer decent sized deals around than long run averages - but volumes should bounce up - I suspect during the second or third quarter next year. There are still some excellent deals in market and we are busy. 3. The deal flow we were expecting to see from local government selldowns has not eventuated. For the meantime at least, the local authority sell-downs of Aurora Energy, Wellington Airport and the swathe of Christchurch assets are off the table - the relevant councils didn't support the sales. We are still expecting to see sales of Auckland Council's shareholding in Auckland Airport and also Quayside's shareholding in Port of Tauranga. 4. Infrastructure deals are still a focus. We have the roads of national significance, plus the Christchurch justice precinct and Linton Army base. These deals will keep a lot of people busy.

Dear Connections, I wanted to let you know that, due to the recent acquisition of the company, I will be stepping down from my position as CEO and Founder of Gate to Baltics. When I started Gate to Baltics, I had about €5K in savings (probably less), 3-4 potential customers, and a lot of energy to conquer the new and, at that time, unfamiliar Estonian market. As I leave the company, it now boasts over 100 active monthly customers, a strong, dedicated team, and stable monthly revenue. Somewhere, I heard that in the startup world, this would be considered a clear example of a bootstrapped business. Another way to describe it would be as five years of incredibly hard work. I am leaving behind a highly capable team of accountants, AML experts, and business development specialists who will ensure the company reaches its next milestones. A big shout-out to all my former colleagues and everyone who has been a part of this journey. There are many lessons I've learned over the last five years, and I won't list them all here, but the key takeaway is that there are no shortcuts in building an international service-based business. Hard work eventually pays off. As for my next chapter, I plan to enjoy the amazing Baltic summer with my family. After that, I will be open to interesting opportunities in consulting or management roles. I believe I still have a lot to offer and can't wait for the next exciting chapter in my career.
