Our vision: Financially sorted Kiwis

The Commission for Financial Literacy and Retirement Income (formerly the Retirement Commission) is an autonomous crown entity helping New Zealanders to be financially sorted throughout their lives.

Our key activities are providing financial education and carrying out regular reviews of retirement income policy. Through these the Commission contributes towards four key goals for New Zealand.

The Commission's big goals for New Zealand are:

  • New Zealanders are better educated and motivated to make informed financial decisions throughout their lives.  
  • New Zealanders have more trust in the financial services sector.
  • New Zealand's retirement income policy is stable and effective
  • The legislative framework for retirement villages is effective in protecting residents, meets societal expectations and the sector is compliant with the Retirement Villages Act 2003.
