United Kingdom vs New Zealand

Field by field, official sources only. Green wins the row, red loses it — grey rows lack a published value on one side.

United Kingdom takes cost of money and macro — widest margin: GDP growth (1.39 % vs 0.46 %). New Zealand takes work & income and housing & living — widest margin: public holidays (11 days vs 5 days). In this type case — a single average earner comparing published official figures — the categories are not summed: a mortgage rate and a GDP figure do not weigh the same.
