COVID-19 data resources

We have been gathering data and information on the economic impact and recovery options of COVID-19, and data and statistics about managed isolation and quarantine in New Zealand.

Events Transition Support Payment scheme (ETSP)

The Events Transition Support Payment (ETSP) scheme was designed to provide assurance to organisers of large-scale events, so they could continue organising our much anticipated events over 2022.

Industry Transformation Plans

The Government committed to stopping ITPs as part of the National-Act Coalition Agreement and its 100-Day Plan. ITPs were developed for 8 sectors: Advanced Manufacturing, Agritech, Construction, Digital Technologies, Fisheries, Food and Beverage, Forestry and Wood Processing and Tourism. Work on Industry Transformation Plans has stopped, and the Government’s commitment completed.

Just Transition

The Just Transitions programme was established to help share and coordinate the work of transitioning New Zealand to a low emissions economy.

The Just Transition programme is now closed.

This support package helped to revive economic, social and cultural activities in New Zealand’s largest city over the summer of 2021/2022 and provided relief to those in hardship.

Sector reports series

The Sectors Reports Series and the New Zealand Sectors Dashboard provides up-to-date information on all the industry sectors that make up the New Zealand economy.
