The big questions facing New Zealand
Share this article
The COVID-19 pandemic and its profound impact has left New Zealanders facing fundamental questions about our future and the kind of country we want New Zealand to be. In our Rebuild New Zealand report we explore:
- Now that the immediate COVID-19 health crisis is receding, how do we focus on rebuilding our economy so that it is better than before?
- How do we keep people in work or get them back working as quickly as possible?
- Who will pay for the recovery and how will it happen?
- What roles should the public and private sectors play in New Zealand’s recovery?
- How can we address social and economic structural inequities?
- How do we tackle the twin challenges of growing our economy and boosting productivity?
- Is there a case for reconsidering tax reform with a fresh lens?
- What are our competitive advantages as a nation and how do we build on these to recover quickly and strongly?
- How do we use the post-COVID-19 stimulus to catch-up in the battle to address climate change?
- What lessons can we learn from our response to COVID-19 so that we are less vulnerable to future shocks?
- How can we ensure the benefits of the recovery are shared fairly across all segments of society?
We don’t pretend to have all the answers. However, we want to contribute to what is an incredibly important debate. We firmly believe that New Zealand’s economy is capable of recovering more quickly and strongly than most others, so that it is better than before. This means that New Zealanders can get back to work and the benefits of greater prosperity are experienced across all segments of our society. We want to help make that happen.
