Making government's intensions clear, Commerce Minister Simon Power added, "These recommendations are a key part of the Government's wider work program for the financial sector, and to demonstrate just how important we regard it, the Prime Minister will lead the response by announcing it early in 2010."

The report analyses current challenges to the business world besides providing solutions for reporting adequate growth and mitigating hurdles in the way.
