Report of the Ministry of Economic Development for the Year Ended 30 June 2004

[ Last Updated 10 October 2005 ]


Facilitate the alignment of economic development activities across the public sector

Co-ordination and collaboration among agencies is needed to create the conditions for growth to occur.

Improve international connections, particularly with Australia

International connections enable growth. This is particularly important for New Zealand, because the domestic market is small and a long way from major global markets.

Stimulate enhanced entrepreneurial and innovative capability of New Zealand firms

Business success requires entrepreneurs continually to spot opportunities, and to produce and market innovative products that consumers want.

Improve the regulatory environment for business

The Ministry will promote improvements in the quality of all regulations so as to minimise the compliance burden and provide as much certainty and flexibility as possible.

Improve the quality and reliability of key infrastructure services

Effective infrastructure - such as electricity, transport, communications and water distribution systems - is crucial to New Zealand's productive capacity and growth prospects.
