Half Year Economic and Fiscal Update 2020 B.6 Half Year Economic and Fiscal Update 16 December 2020 Embargo: Contents not for communication in any form before 1:00pm on Wednesday 16 December 2020 B.6 Half Year Economic and Fiscal Update 16 December 2020 ISBN: 978-1-99-004500-4 (Online) An introduction to the Half Year Economic and Fiscal Update The Treasury is New Zealand’s economics and finance ministry. We advise on the direction of New Zealand’s economic policy with the aim of achieving a strong and sustainable economy, and raising New Zealand living standards. This includes reporting on the expenditure of government (fiscal) revenue, and assisting to ensure spending is fit for purpose and can improve outcomes for New Zealanders. Sharing what we do As the government’s lead economic and financial adviser, we forecast the economic outlook for New Zealand and the Government’s fiscal outlook. This Half Year Economic and Fiscal Update (Update) is part of a suite of documents we release as required by the Public Finance Act 1989. This Update primarily outlines what the Treasury observes in our current economic and fiscal climate, what we might see in the future, and what risks we may face over the next four years (our forecast period). This gives an indication of what the economy is most likely to do to inform decision-making. Making it New Zealander-centric Our advice is not just based on facts and figures. Improving outcomes means we need to understand which outcomes to improve and what is important to New Zealanders. We use the Treasury’s Living Standards Framework to recognise the different aspects of New Zealanders’ living standards and wellbeing. Our framework builds on 30 years of New Zealand and international evidence on wellbeing and provides a high-level framework on intergenerational wellbeing. Understanding our path The Treasury is in a unique position to focus on improving the way our economy can raise New Zealand living standards. Along with delivering first-rate economic and financial advice, we are committed to providing it in a way so New Zealanders understand how we work to achieve our goals.

  • New Zealand Third National UPR Report As Submitted to UN [PDF
    UNCLASSIFIED UNIVERSAL PERIODIC REVIEW – NEW ZEALAND REPORT I. Introduction New Zealand has a proud tradition of protecting and promoting human rights at home and overseas. We recognise that human rights are vital for the development of diverse, inclusive and democratic societies. We welcome the opportunity presented by the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) to take stock of our progress and discuss New Zealand’s human rights achievements, challenges and opportunities. New Zealand’s second UPR resulted in 155 recommendations, 121 of which the Government accepted. Government agencies worked together to identify the actions necessary to support implementation of the accepted recommendations and improve human rights in New Zealand. The National Plan of Action for the Protection and Promotion of Human Rights, Mahere Rautāki a Motu,1 monitors progress in achieving the accepted recommendations. The Plan is an interactive online tool developed by the New Zealand Human Rights Commission, our national human rights institution. It enables the public to identify and monitor Government actions relating to each recommendation. It is updated regularly and has recently been revised to incorporate treaty body recommendations and the Sustainable Development Goals. II. Report Preparation This report provides a snapshot of New Zealand’s human rights performance between January 2014 and September 2018, referenced against recommendations from our second UPR. Future planned Government action to address ongoing challenges is also included. For those topics that did not feature in our last UPR, there is a section on new and emerging issues. Tokelau is a dependent territory of New Zealand. It is standard practice to include Tokelau in New Zealand’s reports.

  • Pānui March 2017
    panui- March – Poutu- -te-rangi 2017 A publication of the Ministry for Women, Minitatanga mo- nga- Wa-hine New gender pay gap research shows the main causes are"unexplained" On Tuesday, 7 March, the Minister for Women, Hon Paula Bennett, launched new research into the gender pay gap at the Human Resources Institute. The research, commissioned by the Ministry for Women and led by Professor Gail Pacheco from Auckland University of Technology, looks into what is causing the gender pay gap – currently 12 percent – and what we can do about it. “The research finds that traditional drivers such as type of work, family responsibilities, education, and age no longer explain the majority of the gender pay gap,” said Mrs Bennett. “In fact, around 80 percent of the gender pay gap is now due to ‘unexplained’ factors.” The Ministry for Women primarily views these factors as behaviour, attitudes, and assumptions about women in work, especially unconscious bias. The Minister viewed the audience, made up of approximately 100 human resources staff from across the private and public sectors, as one of the key champions of change. “If we’re going to change this – if in another decade we actually want the 12 percent gap to have reduced – then it starts with all of us, including you and your attitudes. Let’s look to ways of what we can do to improve the gap. “It’s 2017. So employers, it’s time to remember three things. It’s not about what you can get away with. It’s not about what she is willing to accept.
