We develop policies and deliver core services to help New Zealand reach its full economic potential. Our work enables economic prosperity and resilience, supporting communities and businesses to succeed.
Over the next 3 to 5 years, MBIE will use the economic and organisational levers it controls to:
- deliver meaningful outcomes for people and businesses across the country, ensuring positive results across the various economic systems we manage
- lift productivity
- maintain strong fiscal discipline
- provide greater value and higher levels of service.
We support the Government in building a high-performing economy that delivers an improved standard of living for all New Zealanders. In line with Government priorities, we will:
- help boost economic activity and stimulate innovation and productivity
- refine immigration settings to attract the people Aotearoa New Zealand wants to work, visit and study here
- improve the building consent and product recognition systems to boost productivity and reduce costs
- provide capital for regional infrastructure investments to lift productivity, grow regional economies and improve New Zealand’s resilience to absorb and recover from shocks and adapt to changing conditions
- safeguard energy security and increase renewable energy options so the country has sustainable, stable and cost-effective energy options
- review the health and safety regime to make sure it is easier for businesses and workers to comply and that it balances costs and benefits.
We will continue to improve the way we work and respond to our changing environment. Over the medium term, we will:
- leverage our scale, depth of expertise and relationships to develop integrated responses that work for people and businesses
- put our customers first, making sure our systems and services are customer-centric and easy to navigate
- integrate new technology and tools, including artificial intelligence (AI) where appropriate, to improve our work and the value of services we provide
- be fiscally prudent and flexible in deploying our resources, to make sure they are right-sized for the task.
