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).
Skilled and productive labour and safe workplaces are essential attributes of long-term economic growth. A strong economy also needs the right mix of skills and labour supply to respond to global and domestic opportunities and shifts.
