Action to attract crucial international investment. 

Invest New Zealand is up and running, a government organisation that'll work with global investors to create jobs, boost innovation, and lift productivity. 

It's been given $85 million over four years to cement itself. 

Auckland Business Chamber CEO Simon Bridges told Mike Hosking that our settings were suboptimal, and we’re now getting better ones. 

He says that they’re not world leading, but they are being made with impeccable timing, as they’re being made as the world’s increasingly turning to custard. 

Bridges says there’s real enthusiasm for this in New Zealand, as new residents investing in businesses and startups will have a real flow on effect on the economy.
