This Survey is published on the responsibility of the Economic and Development Review Committee of the OECD, which is charged with the examination of the economic situation of member countries.
The economic situation and policies of New Zealand were reviewed by the Committee on 8 and 9 November 2021. The draft report was then revised in light of the discussions and given final approval as the agreed report of the whole Committee on 22 December 2021.
The Secretariat’s draft report was prepared for the Committee by David Carey, Naomitsu Yashiro and Axel Purwin, under the supervision of Vincent Koen. Research assistance was provided by Axel Purwin and Natia Mosiashvili, and editorial support by Sisse Nielsen and Gemma Martinez. The thematic chapter, Boosting Productivity by Unleashing Digitalisation, was authored by Naomitsu Yashiro, David Carey and Axel Purwin and benefitted from research collaboration with Lynda Sanderson and Garrick Wright-McNaughton (the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment), as well as technical advice from Ellie Avery and Emily Gray.
The previous Survey of New Zealand was issued in June 2019.
