Going For Growth delivering actions to boost exports and investment

The Promoting Global Trade and Investment pillar of Going For Growth sets out a clear pathway to improve access to international markets, increase the value and diversity of exports, and attract high-quality investment to lift productivity and support long-term growth.

Since the release of Going For Growth in February, 18 actions have been delivered including:

• Opening Invest New Zealand to increase capital into our high potential sectors.
• Boosting the Elevate Fund to support its target of stimulating $1 billion worth of investments over 15 years.
• Refreshing the Active Investor Plus Visa to make it easier for high-net-worth individuals to contribute skills, capital and international connections to grow New Zealand.
• Completing 17 Trade Missions to open doors for New Zealand businesses and showcase Kiwi products and services into the world, most recently Saudi Arabia, China and India.
• Accelerating Māori exports and supporting Māori businesses to grow and prosper.

These initiatives are laying the foundation for high-value exports and stronger international connections, helping position New Zealand for sustainable economic growth.

The Going For Growth update was released during a visit to an Auckland cosmetics manufacturer by Economic Growth Minister Nicola Willis and Trade and Investment Minister Todd McClay. 

This is the fifth update to Going for Growth since its launch and is available on the MBIE website.
