Now, it would be quite cynical just to view these detailed reports as a mere tick-box exercise. They could probably sit in the book or magazine shelf in the lobby of 1 The Terrace or in any Minister of Finance's executive wing waiting room. However, one cannot underestimate the importance of these four reports, and I believe the Treasury summed it up well: that these reports are a reflection of the necessity of the public finance system in supporting New Zealanders' intergenerational wellbeing through a more modern, agile, and joined-up public system.
