Answer

I refer the Member to the attachment. The attachment shows the reason why the 22 national interest assessments were undertaken. These include the investor meeting the definition of a non-New Zealand government investor (NNZGI), the transaction involving a strategically important business (SIB) or the transactions being called in for a discretionary national interest assessment.
