Answer

For Invest New Zealand, none. For New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE), none. Note, NZTE was involved in the establishment and incubation of InvestNZ which was stood up from 1 July 2025. Costs associated with this were covered from baseline funding and no external consultants were utilised. (note: some short term contractors were used for legal and HR advice) For the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, I refer the Member to the Minister of Foreign Affairs response to WPQ 34753 [2026].
