Episode description

The Government’s focus on economic growth and foreign investment is back in the spotlight this week.

Later this week, the much-anticipated Investment Summit will take place in Auckland.

Businesses from over 14 countries, with six trillion dollars of capital, will be in attendance across Thursday and Friday, with Government Ministers and Labour representatives in attendance.

It comes at a critical time for the Government, with mixed poll results suggesting a difficult path to re-election next year.

Today on The Front Page, to talk us through who’ll be in attendance and what it all means for the Government, we’re joined by NZ Herald deputy political editor and host of the On the Tiles podcast, Thomas Coughlan.
