Capital Markets 2029 is designed to deliver a 10-year vision and growth agenda for the sector.

Capital Markets 2029 will consider the current framework and broader ecosystem of New Zealand’s capital markets and outline recommendations for the creation of wider, more active participation and increased diversity of product.
