National’s plan to build a stronger economy

National is committed to growing our economy so we can provide more jobs and higher wages to help raise the standard of living of New Zealanders. We are doing this by providing the right economic incentives, and regulating responsibly to maintain safety and protect the environment, but without strangling businesses in red tape.

National has set out its building blocks for a stronger New Zealand economy, in a 120-point economic development action plan.

The action plan complements National’s strong and responsible finance policy to get New Zealand back into surplus within three years and to start paying down debt. Our plan details National’s commitments to building modern productive infrastructure, improving regulation, developing a skilled workforce, and investing in innovation and trade.

It is crucial that we have all our export industries working positively if we are to turn New Zealand into a more competitive economy that provides better jobs and growth for all New Zealanders.
