Finance Minister Grant Robertson is off to New York tonight on a business delegation.

As part of the trip he'll be meeting the U.S Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell, and head to a World Bank and IMF meeting.

Grant Robertson discusses what he expects to get out of tonight’s delegation, as well as reaffirm his confidence in his chosen political party.

"I think it'll be a great chance to reconnect with an important market over on the East Coast and hear from some pretty interesting people within the American economy and within New York about where they're at."
