SETTING THE SCENE As we move through the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic, the resulting economic conditions have made doing business internationally even more challenging than usual for New Zealand’s exporters. Maintaining supply chains, developing new markets, managing cashflow, raising capital, and engaging with a number of customers are just some of the areas of business that have profoundly changed. We believe these challenges will not be short-lived. In simple terms, businesses have not been able Within the Trade Recovery Strategy, NZTE was NZTE’s investment team, based in New Zealand Economic uncertainty continues to be elevated, to survive by standing still.

Our strategy for the next three years Throughout the 2020-21 financial year, NZTE reviewed its processes and allocation of resources to derive the greatest benefit for the export sector from its core funding and the additional funds allocated under the Trade Recovery Strategy. This transformational review, titled Kōrako, is now NZTE’s formal strategy for the next three years. The key pillars of this strategy are: • Deliver a consistent customer experience • Deliver value to all exporters (Reach) • More value to Focus export customers (Focus) • Increase volume and impact of investment (Investment) • Have greater impact beyond the enterprise (sectors/ITP’s) • Have greater impact for Māori (Mātau) • Smarter Ways of working to improve internal productivity (Smarter) • Care for people and place (Kaitiakitanga) The details of the work programmes within the next year are set out below.

THE FIRST YEAR OF THIS STRATEGY IN 2021-22 Over the next 12 months we will continue to focus on delivering the eight pillars of our Kōrako strategy. These are enabled by the second year of our additional funding under the Government’s Trade Recovery Strategy.
