Māori economic development
We are the lead government agency responsible for coordinating the Crown Māori Economic Strategy and Action Plan.

Māori and Iwi increasingly contribute and play a major role in New Zealand’s economy. Māori contribution to the New Zealand economy is multi-faceted and includes the primary sector, natural resources, small and medium enterprises and tourism.
We support the development of the Māori economy through 2 funds:
- Te Pūnaha Hihiko: Vision Mātauranga Capability Fund
- Te Pūnaha Hiringa: Māori Innovation Fund.
