The government's set aside $65 million over four years to loosen the capitalisation rules for investors that could be putting them off.  

Infrastructure NZ chief executive Nick Leggett says told Ryan Bridge this sends a signal to the world that New Zealand wants partners for building infrastructure.

He says if people want a stronger economy and money to pay for schools and hospitals, infrastructure is vital to that.

The Government's also allocating $10 million to help start-ups attract staff by deferring taxes on shares.
