Recent outages and upcoming work to improve service stability

The Ministry of Economic Development has recently suffered a number of website outages. We apologise unreservedly for any inconvenience you experienced as a result.

To minimise the risk of future outages, we are replacing the equipment that houses our websites and business registries. The new equipment will give our web services increased reliability and stability and, in the unlikely event of another outage, will allow us to restore services much faster.
