Finance Minister Nicola Willis has outlined her goals for the new year, as the Government prepares for the upcoming 2026 election.
Willis is hoping Kiwi voters will see the benefits of re-electing a National-led Government so that they can feel rewarded for their hard work.
She says the economy grew as a whole last year, and voters can hope to see more in 2026.
"So we see more job creation, more opportunities for Kiwis to get ahead - that is what we want to see."
