Jenee Tibshraeny: NZ Herald Wellington business editor on the OECD's biennial report findings ahead of Budget 2024
The OECD has released its detailed biennial report on New Zealand's economy, ahead of the 2024 Budget.
It lays out suggestions to improve productivity - highlighting competition.
NZ Herald Wellington business editor Jenee Tibshraeny says the OECD thinks the Government could more aggressively break up monopolies and duopolies, like supermarkets.
"It did recognise that, in a small country like New Zealand, we have some of these big players dominating key sectors. They have such control over the market - that does stymie the innovation."

Fashion PR agency Showroom 22 director Murray Bevan says he feels a midway point could've been reached.
"When the chips are down, sometimes you double down on how hard you pushed to pull out of those troughs. And Fashion Week is a massive branding and marketing exercise for designers, so it's a shame that it's gone completely."
