Growth plan for NZ Inc. relevant and timely

Business NZ says the Government’s medium term plan for economic growth is relevant and timely.

This morning Prime Minister unveiled a 6-pronged approach for growth and jobs, focusing on regulation, infrastructure, public services, skills, innovation and tax.

Business NZ Chief Executive Phil O’Reilly said business had been looking for the Government to set out a framework that would provide certainty for businesses to get on with productive endeavours.

“In particular business wanted to see commitment to innovation and skills that are vital for lifting New Zealand’s economic performance and it is positive to see that commitment made today.

“Business needed to understand where the Government’s focus was so that it could engage in the dialogue and move quickly on implementation.

“We look forward to contributing to the further development of NZ Inc.”
