Introduction
This document is a guide to the Commerce portfolio and Vote: Commerce. It summarises key issues and themes for the next few years. This will be supplemented by separate papers as required.
It accompanies the Ministry of Economic Development's briefing Advancing Economic Development, which outlines the key issues Ministers need to consider when devising their strategy to raise New Zealand's rate of economic growth. Our current Ministry profile describes the Ministry's five strategic priorities and the work being done to progress them. It also profiles our organisational structure and provides contact details for our key managers.

- Mark Steel, Deputy Secretary, Regulatory and Competition Policy - regulatory policy, legal and competition frameworks and regulatory integration with other jurisdictions;
- Neville Harris, Deputy Secretary, Business Services - service delivery and enforcement in relation to the Companies Office, the New Zealand Trustee and Insolvency Service, the Intellectual Property Office of New Zealand and other related services;
