New Zealand Treasury

The New Zealand Treasury is the country’s major public service department, tasked with advising the government on economic policy, supporting the enhancement of the economy's performance and managing financial resources. It serves as the government's principal economic and financial adviser and advises the government on its overall economic framework, fiscal policy and how to get the best value from its assets.

The aspirations for New Zealand are to collaborate and challenge so that it works with others, collaborating but also challenging them, adapting and focusing so that when the facts change, or ministerial priorities change, standards are maintained.

The key objectives of the treasury are divided into fiscal, monetary and regulatory frameworks to result in a stable and sustainable economic environment and to ensure the Crown’s finances and the financial and non-financial balance sheet are managed efficiently, effectively and sustainably as well as establishing institutional and regulatory settings to support the state sector system to increase the equitable, intergenerational wellbeing of the New Zealander population.
