Finance Minister Nicola Willis isn’t receptive to calls for the establishment of an independent unit to check Treasury’s forecasts and ensure Government spending is sustainable.

The International Budget Partnership and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) are among the organisations that believe New Zealand needs an institution that both costs policies and keeps tabs on the Government’s finances.

They argue it would provide more accountability and align New Zealand with the 80% of OECD countries that have such institutions.

NZ Herald Wellington business editor Jenee Tibshraeny explains why Nicola Willis has her doubts.

There's increased efforts to position New Zealand on the world stage and make connections with the US.

Prime Minister Chris Luxon is jetting off to the NATO summit and meeting with officials in Washington next week.

He says he looks forward to forging stronger links with businesses and investors to help rebuild our economy.

Former US Ambassador Tim Groser says the timing couldn't be more tense or important.

"The key issue is what he's going to be able to perceive amongst the other leaders of NATO, given the confluence of the huge strategic threat from the Ukrainian situation and the resurgence of Donald Trump's chances of winning the presidency."
