The aim of this note is to develop a proposal for an economic policy advisory body to help develop government policies to promote growth and jobs, reduce poverty, and improve the nation’s health, education, safety, and general well-being. The rationale for proposing an advisory body is that with the economy growing so rapidly and risks elevated, the current model of policy development by government alone, through the annual budget exercise, is no longer sufficient. There is a need to support and expand that model with a broad-based, independent advisory body, comprising members from the business sector, labor, academia, and civil society.
