Has he received any reports on plans to transform New Zealand’s economy?
Hon PETE HODGSON (Minister for Economic Development) Link to this
Yes. Today I released plans to intensify work in six areas to achieve the next step change in this country’s economic transformation.
We have chosen six, not 16 or 26, because we wish to make good progress on a smaller number of key fronts. We will focus on improving broadband, investment in sustainable technologies, improved workplace skills, supporting the internationalisation of our firms, a better alignment of Government investment activity, and making Auckland a world-class hub of innovation.
