The Finance Minister says the Budget's designed to give businesses even more confidence for the future.

The Budget, released on Thursday, will put aside $65 million over four years, for loosening rules that might put off overseas investors from choosing New Zealand.

Nicola Willis says we can't let debt keep blowing out forever - and would risk the economy crumbling away if we allow major extra taxes or excessive borrowing. 

Newstalk ZB political editor Jason Walls speculates about other future changes that could be unveiled ahead of Budget day.
