        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.

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.

         5 Potential DEI is the forecast return to the economy through increased profits, wages and supplier spend. The target is $4 for every
           dollar invested (by both business and government). The potential DEI return of 4x is measured after adjusting each application and
           the portfolio by a risk factor of 35%. Potential DEI does not apply to market validation and coalition projects.
         6 Results are based on completed IGF projects for IGF grants approved in the preceding five years.
