The New Zealand government has unveiled details of a new taskforce designed to maintain and strengthen the country's financial markets.
The new Capital Market Development Taskforce will see government and the private sector work together to develop New Zealand's capital markets.
The commerce minister, Lianne Dalziel, says the taskforce will develop a blueprint and action plan that will be released next year.
She says to deliver wealth and jobs, New Zealand firms need ready access to affordable capital and the taskforce will identify ways to do that.
