0. Title
Growth NZ
Reigniting our nation’s future — for our kids, for our country
1. New Zealand at a Crossroads
Slide Text:
Our economy is stalling. Talent is leaving. Public services are under pressure.
Without action, our kids will inherit fewer opportunities.
But we can change course — and secure a brighter future.
Speaker Notes: New Zealand’s per-capita growth has been stagnant for years. Wages aren’t keeping up with living costs, and public investment in health, education, and infrastructure lags demand. Our young people are leaving for better opportunities, risking a brain drain. If nothing changes, real incomes will stagnate, inequality will deepen, and we could follow the path of once-prosperous nations that failed to adapt. But with focused leadership, sound policy, and coordinated execution, we can replicate the success of Denmark, Singapore, and Ireland — and secure a better future for our children.
2. The Prize (What Success Looks Like)
Slide Text:
By 2035: GDP per capita NZ$143k (+60% incomes)
NZ$70B more for services and infrastructure
Every community benefits — our kids thrive here
Speaker Notes: Achieving NZ$143k GDP per capita by 2035 would put us on par with the most prosperous Scandinavian nations. This growth would lift incomes by 60% and generate NZ$70B more in annual government revenue — enough to modernise hospitals, schools, and transport, invest in innovation hubs, and drive regional development. Every community — from cities to rural towns — would share in the prosperity, making New Zealand a place where our children want to stay and build their lives.
3. Our Mission
