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. 

He says he wants to prioritise growing the economy. 

Infrastructure New Zealand Policy Director Michelle McCormick told Mike Hosking things are looking up after the investment summit earlier this year. 

She says things are happening in the background, including creating a more positive investment environment. 

McCormick says that while it's breadcrumbs, it's positive news.
