The Ministry works to ensure New Zealand is one of the best places in the world to do business, and to make a real difference to the country's economic performance. The Government wants to achieve a step-change in sustainable economic growth and this economic transformation agenda provides the impetus for much of the Ministry's work. We have been asked to take a fresh approach and not just build incrementally on old initiatives. This is a big challenge, which our strategy for growth responds to. In developing and implementing policies and services that promote growth, we work across nine portfolio areas and take an integrated approach across a wide range of agencies. Given the diversity of our effort, it's crucial that the Ministry has a sound strategy to prioritise its allocation of resources and expertise. The aim of our strategy is to focus on the things that really matter for growth.
