Wellington Chamber of Commerce welcomes sensible steps for business

The Wellington Chamber of Commerce has welcomed the Government’s announcement of updates to the Commerce Act, released as part of its Going for Growth agenda.

Acting Chief Executive Amanda Wood says the changes provide a helpful step toward greater clarity and certainty for businesses.

"Clearer rules and oversight give local businesses more confidence to plan for growth while maintaining integrity and public trust.

"Certainty in how businesses can work together is important for supporting collaboration and innovation. Today’s announcement, which the Chamber hosted, is a useful development in that direction."

Ms Wood noted that while the changes are not transformational on their own, they contribute to an environment where businesses can operate with greater confidence and focus on growth.

"We will continue to follow today's changes closely and look forward to seeing how these changes deliver for local business.

"These updates align with our broader priority of ensuring Wellington businesses have the right policy settings to thrive."
