"It is very expensive to put in the wastewater networks, the roading, the connections to electricity - and so forth."

The Finance Minister is pleased the nation's business heavyweights share her values and priorities.

The Herald's annual Mood of the Boardroom survey has found CEOs and board members are more optimistic than pessimistic about the economy.

But they still have concerns about things like energy, living costs, interest rates, cyber security threats and insurance costs.

Nicola Willis says it's good to see New Zealand's business community agrees with the Government's optimism about the economy.

"They're focused on the same things we are, which is - let's get growth happening. Investments, new jobs, more innovation, more exporting. We're on the same page."
