New Zealand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Although the New Zealand Government continues to own a number of significant businesses, collectively known as State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), they are operated through arms-length shareholding arrangements as stand-alone businesses that are required to operate profitably, just like any privately owned enterprise. New Zealand was involved in a Constitutional Convention in March 1891 in Sydney, New South Wales, along with the then-colonies of Australia. Elizabeth II is the Queen of New Zealand and is represented in the country by a non-political Governor-General. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/New_Zealand   (4387 words)

New Zealand (09/05) The turn of the century brought sweeping social reforms that built the foundation for New Zealand's version of the welfare state. New Zealand is an active member of the global coalition in the War against Terrorism, and deployed SAS troops to Afghanistan, and naval and air assets to the Persian Gulf. New Zealand was a direct beneficiary of many of the reforms achieved under the Uruguay Round of trade negotiations, with agriculture in general and the dairy sector in particular enjoying many new trade opportunities. www.state.gov /r/pa/ei/bgn/35852.htm   (4191 words)

New Zealand Country Profile New Zealand plans to restructure ECNZ into three competing State-owned enterprises (SOEs) which are commercially viable entities and effective competitors to reach this goal. New Zealand Post's letter-delivery monopoly ended to some extent in 1998 with several smaller companies entering the market, and the Government has increased competition in the electricity market by breaking-up the state-owned Electricity Corporation of New Zealand (ECNZ) into three separate entities. And, within this sectoral evolution, New Zealand's longer term track record of socio-economic policies for privatization and enterprises are now being tempered with certain short-term measures which are diluting and delaying that process and the much needed inward investor confidence to stimulate and support diversification and growth. www.hawaii.gov /dbedt/ert/cp/newze.html   (2528 words)

State-Owned Enterprises and Privatisation As a model, the New Zealand policy of corporatising state-owned enterprises (SOEs) is probably the best that can be devised, given continued public ownership, for getting satisfactory returns on taxpayers' investments while still enabling non-commercial goals to be pursued. New Zealand has made large gains in recent years by requiring state-owned enterprises to be run as successful businesses and exposing their markets to competition. Unbelievably, some academics in New Zealand and people like Brian Easton and Len Bayliss continue to do so, and as recently as the 1970s successive New Zealand governments were still creating state-owned businesses such as Petrocorp and the DFC. www.nzbr.org.nz /documents/speeches/speeches-91-92/matthpriv.doc.htm   (1224 words)
