9174 (2025). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister for Economic Growth: Why doesn't MBIE have a Chief Economist or equivalent role?

Hon Nicola Willis: I am advised different departments have different approaches to harnessing economic expertise. MBIE’s economic expertise sits in a range of roles and teams across the Ministry, rather than in a single role or unit.
