New Zealand has slashed foreign aid to its lowest level in four years, with specific cuts to climate finance, in a move decried by the international development sector as a broken promise.
Finance Minister Nicola Willis unveiled the coalition's second budget on Thursday, with a headline deficit of $NZ14.7 billion ($A13.5 billion).
Budget documents show official development assistance (ODA) spending dropping from $NZ1.1 billion last year to $NZ999 million this year, its lowest level since 2021.
