There are calls to boost foreign investment in local businesses to get our economy going again.
The OECD's biennial report has found a lack of competition and restrictive foreign investment rules are barriers to improving productivity.
Employers and Manufacturers' Association chief executive Brett O'Riley says getting more foreign investment in is one of many simple fixes we can make.
He told Mike Hosking that when we had the right settings under the Key government it put a lot of new money into our most successful companies.
O'Reilly says we need to get foreign investment in so we can get that money in at a time when it's very hard to raise it.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
