Public policy

Good public policy draws on economic frameworks to determine the nature of the core problem or opportunity and assesses options for the roles of government and of markets. With our experienced bench of former senior government policy thought leaders, we understand the policy process and the cutting edge of the issues to offer:

  • end-to-end policy advisory services and support

  • strategy and agenda-setting

  • central agency (Treasury, DPMC and Te Kawa Mataaho) experience needed to get proposals ‘over the line’

  • domain expertise across key social and economic sectors

  • best practice budget bid and business case preparation to improve the quality of your proposals

NZIER is an all-of-government procurement (AOG) tier 2 panellist for finance and economics, and policy, research and development. For our private sector and NGO clients, we can help shape your problems into solutions and help you navigate essential government processes.
