Business participation in government assistance programmes

Business participation in government assistance programmes presents descriptive statistics on the businesses that participate in different types of government assistance programmes (GAP), including their size, industry, and characteristics. This report's purpose does not include evaluating any of these programmes.

The data are from Statistics New Zealand’s Longitudinal Business Database (LBD). The LBD covers all economically significant New Zealand businesses, which allows businesses receiving government assistance to be compared with the broader business population
