The income of New Zealand as a nation is on the rise.

For the year to March, New Zealand earned $14.4b more than in the previous year.

The figures from Statistics New Zealand show disposable income is up throughout the country, and it's worth almost $200b.

Much of the growth has been led by business profits.

Income from employment has also increased.

There's been large growth in the dairy sector, as well as in construction and financial services.

Overall, growth in income has outstripped growth in expenditure across all sectors of the economy.
