Productivity in a changing world

These seminars are open to everyone, facilitate learning and debate on the important issues facing New Zealand.

Lifting productivity performance continues to be central to improving New Zealanders’ wellbeing, and that we face this challenge in the context of significant economic, social and environmental shifts. These shifts will require considerable changes in our economy if we are to sustain and improve our economic and productivity performance.
