2016 was another successful year for The New Zealand Initiative. This Annual Report summarises our achievements over 2016. Once again we produced thought-provoking research, held well-attended events and had a strong presence in the media.

"New Zealand is well served by The New Zealand Initiative's penetrating, rigorous research in matters of importance to business and the economy."

- Kirk Hope, Chief Executive - BusinessNZ

"I find The New Zealand Initiative's reports and its regular involvement in the public debate very helpful to me as an economic and political journalist. I may not always agree with the perspectives, but I always appreciate the depth of the Initiative's research and the engaging way it gets that out into the public sphere. It often helps me think anew about thorny issues."

- Bernard Hickey, Journalist and publisher
