Nicola Willis says her new role in Cabinet is all about driving New Zealand's growth. 

The Finance Minister has been given the Economic Growth portfolio, formerly known as the Economic Development portfolio

It's been taken off Melissa Lee - who's been stripped of all ministerial responsibilities.

Willis says she'll now be taking the lead at the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment. 

"Through that role, I will be making sure that we're responding to businesses, industries, small business owners about what they need to have the confidence to be investing, to be hiring."
