The Treasury is the Government’s lead economic and fiscal advisor, and steward of public service financial management.
Our purpose is to safeguard New Zealand’s finances and act as the Government’s strategic economic advisor. Our vision is to lift living standards for all New Zealanders.
We have wide-ranging statutory and operational responsibilities for lifting New Zealand’s economic and financial performance and living standards. We administer significant legislation on behalf of the Minister of Finance.
The Treasury’s Strategic intentions set out the outcomes we are seeking to achieve in the medium-term. These are:
- A strong, growing and sustainable economy for all
- Strong public finances for current and future generations
- A high-performing public service
The Strategic intentions identify the priority areas of work we have identified that will contribute to achieving each of these outcomes and to support the Government’s priorities.
A summary of the progress we have made towards our Strategic intentions, as well as information on the Treasury’s financial position, can be found in our most recent Annual Report. Our annual reports including our most recent are listed here.
