- a $400,000 transfer to the Sector Analysis and Facilitation MCA - Tourism Data and Analysis - Tourism category to more accurately reflect the extent of the work programmes and resources across the portfolio.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by $5.693 million to $168.481 million in 2015/16 due to:
- a $2.680 million transfer from 2014/15 to reflect the delays in confirming the abattoir design and build relating to the Saudi Arabia-New Zealand Agribusiness Hub project
- a $2.564 million increase as a result of NZTE being required to adjust their baseline on an annual basis to reflect the movements in foreign exchange rates and local inflation in offshore locations
- a $536,000 adjustment to allow NZTE to meet their fiscal requirement for the capital charge regime, and
- a $383,000 contribution from Te Puni Kokiri to NZTE for the New Zealand Story project.
These increases are partially offset by a $470,000 transfer to 2016/17 to reflect timing in the delivery of a solution for development of a new business model for the Saudi Arabia-New Zealand Business Hub project.
This appropriation had a fiscally neutral adjustment of $30.169 million for the 2015/16 year from the Collaborative Activity and Special Events category, to the International Business Growth Services category within this MCA. This transfer reflects the changes to the integrated nature of New Zealand Trade and Enterprise's (NZTE) International Business Growth Services being delivered to firms either individually or as a group.
