4. The Challenge Facing New Zealand
• NZ scores highly on World Bank and other
indicators for corruption, ease of doing business
and quality of life
• New Zealand is second in the world for early stage
initiation, but 26th out of 36 for execution in market
(GEM)
• New Zealand is the developed economy furthest
from its major markets
• New Zealand companies have to internationalise
very early in their lifecycle
• Scale, resilience and international outlook are
critical to success

6. THE NZ ECONOMIC GROWTH AGENDA
Increase exports
to 40% of GDP
Close the income
gap with Australia
Six policy drivers will further our economic objectives
Regulatory
reform
Investment in
infrastructure
A better
public
service
Education
and skills
Innovation
Science and
Trade
A world class
tax system
Key issues:
A How to maximise the returns and value from traditional areas of
excellence (dairy, meat, aquaculture, seafood)
B How to support high technology manufacturing and services; how to
overcome the issues these firms face in operating from NZ (skills, capital,
connectivity)
C The opportunities in the energy and minerals sectors
D Wider cross-cutting issues around skills and capability, capital/support for
growing companies, infrastructure, international connections
