In the latest Statistics New Zealand data there was a seasonally adjusted monthly net gain of 5,500 migrants in April 2016.

Statistics New Zealand population statistics manager Jo-Anne Skinner said that, since exceeding 6,000 in October 2015, the seasonally adjusted net gain in migrants has averaged 5,800 per month.
