Chief Executive’s introduction | He Kupu Whakataki nā te Tumu Whakarae

Foreword from Carolyn Tremain, Secretary for Business, Innovation and Employment and Chief Executive.

I am pleased to present the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s (MBIE’s) Strategic Intentions for 2023–2028. 

As the Government’s lead microeconomic agency,  MBIE has a key role in supporting the Government with its ambition to rebuild the economy to one that is more dynamic and productive. One where businesses can thrive, where more opportunities exist and standards of living have improved for all New Zealanders. 

The global environment continues to be dynamic and uncertain. The pace of technological change is speeding up, geopolitical tensions are increasing and environmental challenges are continuing. This means both increasing opportunities as well as heightened risks to New Zealand’s economic prosperity. 

Using the economic and organisational levers MBIE controls, we want to deliver meaningful impact and achieve better outcomes for businesses and, as a result, for New Zealanders. We want to make sure we achieve positive results across the various economic systems we manage. To do this we need to lift our  own productivity, find efficiencies and maintain strong fiscal discipline to provide greater value and higher levels of service for every dollar spent to achieve  better public services. 

To support the Government and drive economic growth, MBIE will lead and contribute to significant initiatives aimed at helping make Aotearoa New Zealand a better place to live and do business.

We will do this across 5 outcome areas:

  • Prosperous and adaptable people, sectors 
    and regions
  • Skilled people engaged in safe and productive work
  • Competitive markets with informed consumers and businesses 
  • Strong and resilient economy and value derived from natural resources
  • Dynamic business environment fostering innovation and international connections. 

To successfully deliver these outcomes, we will work with other government agencies, and engage effectively with businesses, stakeholders, communities, iwi and Māori. I am confident by  working closely with these partners, we can work to achieve the Government’s ambitions.
