Policy and Advocacy

Blueprint for Growth

Developed in collaboration with our members, our Blueprint for Growth outlines key policy priorities to drive improved financial confidence and wellbeing for New Zealanders.

Our policy principles are to support the development of:

• sustainable policies to improve New Zealanders' lives.
• integrated policies using the sectors’ significant experience, knowledge and skills to work together with stakeholders and government.
• aspirational policies to help New Zealanders make better choices by growing their financial literacy and wellbeing.

Ensuring New Zealanders have a dignified retirement 

KiwiSaver must be improved to ensure more New Zealanders are better prepared for retirement. We believe now is the right time for a fulsome and structured review of the scheme to ensure it is fit for purpose for future generations.

Our members advocate for KiwiSaver changes in four key areas:

• Increasing participation.
• Increasing contributions.
• Building New Zealanders' financial capability.
• The establishment of a government "KiwiSaver Champion" responsible for its performance across multiple election cycles.

Our KiwiSaver priorities document is a starting point, with the intent to find common ground to help arrive at an improved KiwiSaver scheme that ensures all New Zealanders have a dignified retirement.
