Pattrick Smellie: BusinessDesk managing editor on National's plan to double New Zealand's exports in 10 years
from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB
National's Chris Luxon has promised to double the value of exports in 10 years, if elected. The party also vowed to pursue Free Trade Agreements, pump up our trade missions, and prioritise increasing trade with India. BusinessDesk managing editor Pattrick Smellie isn't too confident about National's proposal. "The fact is, New Zealand's export performance unfortunately hasn't changed very much in the last 30 to 40 years- we're still sending about 20 percent of our stuff offshore."
