Kei te tino harikoa au ki te whakatakoto atu i te pūrongo ā-tau a Hīkina Whakatutuki mō te tau 2018/19.
It gives me great pleasure to present the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s (MBIE) 2018/19 Annual Report.
MBIE progressed a number of work programmes in 2020/21 to ensure protections were in place to increase both consumers’ and producers’ confidence in economic participation. This is essential to economic growth and delivering broader social outcomes. We are proud of many improvements to services delivered to businesses.
Jobs are continuing to change as the economy transforms. MBIE supports a responsive labour market where people make the best use of their skills and contribute towards Aotearoa New Zealand’s success. MBIE also influences the market to make sure people and businesses have access to the skills they need.
MBIE’s sustainability framework supports both the Government’s commitment to having a carbon-neutral public sector by 2025 and broader cultural, economic, environmental and social outcomes for the country.
At MBIE, we value our people and strive to reflect, embrace and nurture the communities we serve. Our Inclusion & Diversity strategy, Nō Konei – Belong, focuses on having inclusion at the heart of our mahi, to create a sense of belonging.
Since 2020, our organisational strategy, Te Ara Amiorangi, has informed the way we work.
This section explains the work MBIE carried out in 2020/21 to contribute towards the achievement of five outcomes, which were re-confirmed in our recently published Strategic Intentions 2021-2025. These outcomes articulate our contribution to making Aotearoa New Zealand a better place.
Ko Ranginui ki runga, ko Papatūānuku ki raro, ko ngā tāngata kei waenganui. Tihei Mauri Ora.
We need a business environment that is dynamic, where businesses are able to respond to new opportunities and resources are allocated to their most productive use. Investment and connections are crucial. We also need to innovate sustainably and be able to quickly adopt new economic thinking.
Aotearoa New Zealand’s natural environment is important to the country’s sense of identity and has great cultural and recreational significance. It also supports much economic activity.
