Outcome 1: Prosperous and adaptable people, sectors and regions
A strong economy is essential to New Zealand’s prosperity. MBIE helps regions, businesses and communities to grow and diversify their opportunities. We work to ensure New Zealand is better placed to adapt to global shifts. This requires ongoing investment and adaptation.
Outcome 2: Skilled people engaged in safe and productive work
Skilled and productive labour and safe workplaces are essential attributes of long-term economic growth. A strong economy also needs the right mix of skills and labour supply to respond to global and domestic opportunities and shifts.
Outcome 3: Competitive markets with informed consumers and business
A market with appropriate checks and balances increases the confidence of people and businesses to participate freely in the economy. We achieve this by regulating markets, providing critical information to consumers, providing dispute resolution services, and supporting businesses to grow and evolve.
Outcome 4: Strong and resilient economy delivering energy security and value from resources
A strong and resilient economy is essential to the country’s long-term success and to helping weather global and national changes and natural disasters. Energy security and renewable energy sources provide better economic stability and ensure the nation’s autonomy. The strategic and responsible development of New Zealand’s natural resources enables economic growth and activity.
Outcome 5: Dynamic business environment fostering innovation, technology, and international connections
The New Zealand economy operates within a global context and is heavily reliant on two-way trade, based on competitive advantage. It is important for the economy to adapt and innovate. MBIE also seeks to increase capital intensity, develop international connections and boost innovation.
