Why MBIE focuses on regulatory system governance

Regulatory system governance is an important element of MBIE’s stewardship role. It helps MBIE’s regulatory systems run smoothly and deliver the outcomes sought by New Zealanders today and for the future. Governance keeps regulatory systems fit for purpose by overseeing system performance, managing risk and ensuring the rules stay fair, clear and effective overtime.
