The New Zealand Initiative is a pro-free-market public-policy think tank and business membership organisation in New Zealand.[1] It was formed in 2012 by merger of the New Zealand Business Roundtable (NZBR) and the New Zealand Institute.[2] The Initiative’s main areas of focus include economic policy, housing, education, local government, welfare, immigration and fisheries.
Economist Oliver Hartwich has been the executive director of The Initiative since its formation in 2012, and local writer and media commentator Eric Crampton is currently Chief Economist at the organisation.[3] NZME's independent chair Barbara Joan Chapman (formerly the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of ASB Bank) has been a director of the NZ Initiative since 2017.[4] Chapman is also Deputy Chair of the NZ Initiative, is currently the chairperson of Genesis Energy Limited, holds an independent directorship on the board of Fletcher Building Limited, and holds a seat on the Reserve Bank Act Review Panel.[5]
