NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 95

Economic policy objectives

7. The Government’s economic policy objective is that regulated businesses have incentives to invest in replacement, upgraded and new infrastructure, and in related businesses for the long-term benefit of consumers. The Government considers that this objective will be achieved by:

(a) regulatory stability, transparency and certainty giving businesses the confidence to make long-life investments;

(b) regulated rates of return being commercially realistic and taking full account of the long-term risks to consumers of underinvestment in basic infrastructure; and

(c) regulated businesses being confident they will not be disadvantaged in their regulated businesses if they invest in other infrastructure and services.

8. The Government also considers that it is important that regulatory control ensures that:

(a) the consumers of regulated businesses are not disadvantaged by the investments of regulated businesses in other infrastructure and services;

(b) regulated businesses are held accountable for making investments in that business where those investments have been provided for in regulated revenues and prices; and

(c) regulated businesses provide infrastructure at the quality required by consumers at an efficient price.

Signed at Wellington this 7th day of August 2006.
