Te Ōhanga Māori 2023 – The Māori Economy 2023 report is on track for launch in early 2025.

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment is pleased to share with you our Long-term Insights Briefing: 'The future of business for Aotearoa New Zealand: An exploration of 2 trends influencing productivity and wellbeing – purpose-led business and use of blockchain technology'. Thank you to everyone who shared their knowledge and insights to inform the development of the Briefing.

The Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment is consulting on 2 proposals to strengthen New Zealand’s Capital Markets.

Today the Government released Going For Growth, setting out its approach to enable economic growth, to deliver more jobs, higher incomes, and money to invest in services like our schools, hospitals and roads.

The Government committed to stopping ITPs as part of the National-Act Coalition Agreement and its 100-Day Plan. ITPs were developed for 8 sectors: Advanced Manufacturing, Agritech, Construction, Digital Technologies, Fisheries, Food and Beverage, Forestry and Wood Processing and Tourism. Work on Industry Transformation Plans has stopped, and the Government’s commitment completed.

The Sectors Reports Series and the New Zealand Sectors Dashboard provides up-to-date information on all the industry sectors that make up the New Zealand economy.

We focus on improving the well-being of New Zealanders by supporting our economy to become more productive, resilient and sustainable. We use our expertise in funds management, tourism, major events, firm-level investment, SMEs, digital technology impacts and other priority sectors to support the government’s objectives.

We have been gathering data and information on the economic impact and recovery options of COVID-19, and data and statistics about managed isolation and quarantine in New Zealand.

On this page you will find links to previous Economic Development initiatives and plans.

Government is investing in regionally focused initiatives to enhance economic development opportunities. Kānoa - Regional Economic Development & Investment Unit (Kānoa - RDU) has been established to support delivery of these commitments. We also have a suite of Regional Economic Activity Tools that present social and economic data on our regions.
