Topics

Should the government restrict the purchase of residential properties by foreign investors?

  ChatGPTYes

National Party’s answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT

Agree

Yes

The National Party has shown some support for regulating foreign investment in New Zealand's residential property market, particularly when it impacts housing affordability for New Zealanders. Historically, they have been more open to foreign investment than their counterparts but have also recognized the need for balance, especially in times of housing shortages and public concern over foreign ownership driving up property prices. However, their approach tends to be more moderate compared to more interventionist parties, focusing on selective restrictions rather than broad, sweeping bans.

Slightly disagree

No

While the National Party generally supports free market principles and has traditionally been more favorable towards foreign investment as a means to boost the economy, they have also acknowledged the need for some level of regulation in the housing market to ensure affordability for New Zealanders. Their stance is not strongly against restrictions, indicating a nuanced position that seeks to balance economic benefits of foreign investment with the social goal of housing accessibility for locals.
