Productivity in a Changing World seminar series

The theme “Productivity in a changing world” recognises that 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.
