The Economic Strategy Directorate leads the development of Treasury's medium-to-long-term economic and regulatory strategy advice and thinking. The Directorate collaborates and connects across Treasury and the wider public sector to provide compelling advice on economic, regulatory and wellbeing priorities for the medium-to-long term. By influencing across the system, the Directorate works to ensure that these perspectives are well integrated across wider government advice. Current priorities for the Directorate are:

- Advice on the mix of economic and regulatory interventions required to deliver on the Government's vision of a high wage, low emissions economy that delivers economic security in good times and bad.
- Better understanding the key drivers of economic performance and wellbeing in New Zealand today, and over the next ten years, including the role of the Māori economy, and developing related policy insights
- Contributing to cross-government work on building resilience, with a particular focus on economic security, lessons learnt from our COVID response and supporting Regulatory CEs to address systemic regulatory issues.
