It's expected the government could find more savings by selling state owned assets.

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon's promising an extra $400 million for maintaining and upgrading assets, on top of the already projected $3.6 billion. 

New Zealand Initiative Executive Director Oliver Hartwich told Ryan Bridge they could go into a process of asset recycling. 

He says selling some existing assets would give the government more room for new ones.
