It's expected the government could find more savings by selling state owned assets. 

The Government's scraped the bottom of the barrel to find more money for the upcoming Budget. 

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon's promising an extra $400 million for maintaining and upgrading assets, on top of the already projected $3.6 billion. 

New Zealand Initiative Executive Director Oliver Hartwich told Ryan Bridge they could go into a process of asset recycling. 

He says selling some existing assets would give the government more room for new ones.
