New Zealand’s future depends on a strong, growing economy that puts money in people’s pockets, creates opportunities, and allows us to invest in high-quality schools, hospitals and roads for you and your family.
That’s why we’re Going for Growth.
The only way to achieve this is by saying YES. Yes, to ambition, yes to opportunity, and yes to economic growth.
You might have seen me kicking off the New Zealand Economic Forum with Going for Growth where I shared the five key areas we’re focusing on to drive lasting prosperity:
1. Developing talent – We’re improving our education system, so our kids are equipped for the future.
2. Competitive business settings – Cutting red tape and reducing compliance costs so businesses can focus on what they do best – growing and creating jobs.
3. Promoting global trade and investment – We’re backing our exporters and attracting investment to create more opportunities here in New Zealand.
4. Innovation, technology, and science – Supporting research and development in high-growth tech industries to create more jobs and unlock Kiwi ingenuity.
5. Infrastructure for growth – Removing barriers for major projects to deliver more affordable housing, better roads, cheaper energy, and a more productive economy.
We know the best ideas don’t just come from Government. They come from people like you, our business owners, our future leaders, our hardworking communities.
That’s why we want to hear from you. Visit the Going for Growth website

My message to you is this – it’s been tough in recent years, and the cost of living is a daily concern, but we’re turning a corner, and our country has far better years ahead.
Best regards,
Nicola Willis
