“Christchurch promises a lot of potential for the Malaysian companies as the city is currently undergoing major repairs and refurbishment work following the unfortunate earthquake that shook the city in 2011,” said Matrade.
BIS Shrapnel, known for its analysis and forecast of the construction industry has reported that the rebuilding effort was expected to take full force by 2015 and increase the city’s building value over the next five years.
The refurbishment project was also poised to drive New Zealand’s property industry to a record high value of NZ$ 10 billion (RM7.9 billion) per annum, said Matrade.
Mission members would also visit the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority and Arrow International Ltd besides coordinating business meetings with potential importers from Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland.
To date, 66 customised business meetings have been arranged with 22 New Zealand-based developers and construction companies.
