Community for Policy Research

Welcome to the Treasury’s Community for Policy Research#

The Treasury is New Zealand's lead advisor to Government on economic, financial and regulatory policy. Our vision is focused on being a world leading Treasury working toward higher living standards for New Zealanders. One of the ways we deliver on that vision is by drawing on information and analysis from a wide range of experts. The Treasury has established the Community for Policy Research and compiled the Research Interests document with a view to researchers, like you, choosing projects that might improve the advice The Treasury can offer to New Zealand government and its agencies.

At The Treasury, we know we haven't always been clear about what we want from external research, or who we want to do it. By establishing the ‘Community for Policy Research' we are acknowledging that you have the expertise in conducting research (not us!) and that we need to be clearer about exactly what we want.

This booklet provides you with further information about the Community for Policy Research and a list of broad areas that might benefit from additional research.

We look forward to working with you.

Ngā mihi,

Tim Ng
Deputy Secretary, Chief Economic Advisor
