Prime Minister Chris Luxon says he hopes to yield tens of billions from a national investment summit staged in Auckland to help build infrastructure in New Zealand.
More than 100 firms, representing roughly $NZ6 trillion in wealth, assembled at Auckland's waterfront Hyatt Hotel on Thursday as Mr Luxon attempted to court foreign capital.
Mr Luxon told delegates New Zealand was "open for business" and notably, given growing unrest around the world, it was a safe place to invest and live.
