The New Zealand economy operates within a global context and is heavily reliant on two-way trade, based on competitive advantage. It is important for the economy to adapt and innovate. MBIE also seeks to increase capital intensity, develop international connections and boost innovation.
MBIE supports the Government of the day in delivering core priorities, including the Government’s quarterly action plans, as well as economic strategies and policies.
Te Ara Amiorangi is MBIE’s organisational strategy. Te Ara refers to a pathway, and Amiorangi refers to a celestial navigation point. It sets the direction, highlighting where we need to focus our efforts to achieve our vision – to Grow New Zealand for all. This year, we updated Te Ara Amiorangi to reflect our current priorities and way forward.
MBIE’s main responsibilities span 19 interconnected ministerial portfolios (with support for several more) across 3 funding areas (known as Votes).
At the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), everything we do is about Growing New Zealand for all.
