Prime Minister Helen Clark and nine members of her cabinet will debate economic policy with senior business executives at a conference next month.
About 100 business people are expected, including many from Australia.
Top of the agenda will be whether the Government's more active intervention in the economy, and its efforts to close social and income gaps, will benefit or harm business and the economy.
Sir Frank Holmes, chairman of conference coordinators Hugo Group, said participants could discuss their concerns with politicians from both the Government and Opposition.
The conference will be in Wellington on August 10 and 11. About 60 business people, mainly chief executives, have so far registered, a quarter of them from Australia.
Also on the agenda are opportunities for "new economy" businesses, research and development, the planned tax review, competition law changes, trade policy and the environment.
