Next steps and how to get involved

Economic growth is ultimately driven by business owners who take risks to invest in the growth of their company, creating jobs, higher incomes for New Zealanders and a stronger New Zealand economy.

The Government will be reaching out and prioritising engagement with the business community to hear views and ideas on how to lift productivity and drive economic growth. These engagements will inform current and future Government actions to enable economic growth, including through regulatory reforms.

Going For Growth will evolve and be updated on a regular basis and is intended to be a living document. Initiatives and workstreams will be added and removed once they are completed as the Government moves ahead with its economic growth agenda.

The Minister for Economic Growth will be undertaking a series of business visits throughout New Zealand to inform Going For Growth, and Government Ministers will be prioritising work on economic growth initiatives in their various portfolios.

New Zealand’s economic performance will be measured over time, and Government Ministers will be working to ensure it improves as quickly as possible in order to lift living standards and opportunities for all New Zealanders.
