Long-Term Fiscal Schools Challenge
Page updated 20 Mar 2012
In the lead-up to the publication of its Long-Term Fiscal Statement, the Treasury is running the Long-Term Fiscal Schools Challenge in 2012.
This offers Years 12 and 13 students an exciting opportunity to put themselves in the shoes of Treasury policy analysts in considering and advising on one of the major issues facing governments across the world - long-run sustainability of government finances.
Secondary school teams from across the country are invited to propose policy options that address New Zealand's long-term fiscal challenges, and present their proposals to a panel of judges from the Treasury and Victoria University of Wellington. Teams will be assessed on their understanding of the issues, the originality and practicality of their analysis, and their presentation skills.
Long-term fiscal sustainability will be one of the most critical challenges facing New Zealand, and indeed the world, over the coming decades. This is a challenge for your lifetime - I invite you to join the debate and have your say. Gabriel Makhlouf, Chief Executive and Secretary to the Treasury
