What an agenda for growth could look like
26/02/25
Josie sets out an agenda the government could follow to put the economy on a much faster growth track:
Radicalise the competitive intensity in the economy.
Reform the way government works with technology. AI can radically improve public services.
Overhaul those parts of government activity where spending is going to keep growing faster than the economy:
- Introduce workplace insurance for health care,
- Increase the superannuation age in line with life expectancy and increase contributions to Kiwisaver,
- Put infrastructure spending through an independent bank that can introduce private capital without privatising and directors spending to the highest value projects.
