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.
New Zealand companies need investment and the right connections to be able to imagine more, produce more and achieve more for New Zealand.
MBIE supports the Government of the day in delivering core priorities, including the Government’s quarterly action plans, as well as economic strategies and policies.
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. Under this outcome, we also make important contributions to three pillars of Going For Growth (Pillar 2: Competitive business settings, Pillar 3: Promoting global trade and investment and Pillar 5: Infrastructure for growth).
