Answer

I am advised New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE) has one contractor exceeding $200 an hour. The contract start date was October 2025. Further detail is not provided to protect the privacy of the individual’s privacy. I am advised that Invest NZ engaged one legal contractor at a rate exceeding $200 an hour since March 2026 to support the Active Investor Plus programme.
