Infrastructure for growth
Well-planned infrastructure supports the efficient and sustainable movement of people, goods, and information, and facilitates trade and investment while also improving living standards. It is an essential ingredient to enable and drive economic growth. According to the International Monetary Fund, closing New Zealand’s infrastructure gap could increase real GDP by as much as 0.8 per cent in the long term.
Energy and natural resources
New Zealand's abundant and diverse energy resources have long underpinned our economy. The challenge is to meet New Zealand's energy needs in a way that supports our way of life, the economy and the environment.
Promoting global trade and investment
Global trade and investment are essential for New Zealand to maximise its potential and for New Zealanders to enjoy higher incomes and better public services. New Zealand’s economy is export-oriented, with the food and fibre sectors and tourism significantly contributing to foreign currency earnings.
Radio spectrum
We advise government on the allocation of New Zealand's radio spectrum and administer the Radiocommunications Act 1989 and supporting regulations.

New Zealand has a flexible labour market, high rates of employment, relatively open borders and, historically, a well-performing education system. However, the country faces significant challenges: school achievement and attendance are dropping in comparison with countries New Zealand competes with, and we face challenges in attracting, training and retaining talent.
Digital connectivity programmes
Significant government-led programmes are working to improve broadband and mobile connectivity for New Zealanders.
Strong foundations to foster economic growth
The Government’s goal is to increase living standards and opportunities for all New Zealanders.
