Dear John,
=C2=A0
Today I was proud to announce the Growth Budget- focused on growing the eco=
nomy to help Kiwis get ahead.=C2=A0

A growing economy means a lower cost of living.

It means more jobs, higher wages.

It means being able to see a doctor when you need to, your children getting=
a world class education and feeling safe in your communities.

It means new roads, more houses and better public transport.

However, we can only deliver those things if we are responsible with the wa=
y we are managing the economy. =C2=A0

After a tough few years our economy is starting to recover thanks to Nation=
al=E2=80=99s careful management. =C2=A0Inflation and interest rates are dow=
n, wages are growing faster than inflation, and growth is expected to avera=
ge 2.7% per year creating 240,000 jobs.=C2=A0

We cannot take that recovery for granted, which is why we=E2=80=99ve delive=
red a responsible Budget firmly focused on going for growth to secure New Z=
ealand=E2=80=99s future.

At the centre is Investment Boost - a tax incentive which makes it easier f=
or tradies, farmers, and small business owners to invest in new assets to i=
ncrease productivity and lift wages.=C2=A0

Other growth initiatives include growing tourism, attracting foreign invest=
ment, lifting KiwSaver employer and employee contributions, and investing i=
n new infrastructure like roads and schools.

We=E2=80=99re investing in frontline public services with more assistance f=
or children with additional learning needs, more support for Police and ove=
r $1 billion to replace and upgrade hospitals.

Helping Kiwis with the cost of living is another focus of the Budget with r=
ates rebates for seniors, higher Working for Families payments for over 140=
,000 families, and saving New Zealanders money by extending repeat prescrip=
tions to 12 months.

Just like Kiwi households we=E2=80=99ve had to make tough choices about wha=
t we spend our money on but we are confident we have put Kiwi=E2=80=99s har=
d-earned taxes where they will have the most impact.

It=E2=80=99s only through a strong, growing economy that we can create jobs=
, lift wages and afford the schools, hospital and police we all deserve.
