Long-Term Insights Briefing 2026
The Public Service Act 2020 requires departmental chief executives to publish a Long-Term Insights Briefing (LTIB) at least once every three years.
LTIBs are required to make publicly available:
- information about medium- and long-term trends, risks and opportunities that affect or may affect New Zealand society, and
- information and impartial analysis, including policy options for responding to the trends, risks and opportunities that have been identified.
LTIBs are intended to help us think and plan for the future. They are not government policy and are developed independently of ministers. They are intended to bring a focus to long-term issues and challenges and promote public debate on important matters for New Zealand.
