Previous Investments
Previous investments is a factor under section 28(e) of the Overseas Investment Regulations 2005 used in assessing an overseas investment's benefit to New Zealand. This factor assesses the prior (and current) investment performance of the applicant. The relevant investments don't need to be investments that required consent under the Overseas Investment Act 1973 (repealed) or the Overseas Investment Act 2005.
Report
If this factor applies the OIO requires a report detailing the prior (and current) investment performance of the applicant.
The report should detail:
- the applicant's previous investments (these can include investments that are still held by the applicant and investments made in the past that the applicant no longer holds), and
- how those investments have been or are of benefit to New Zealand.
