I concluded that there existed a market failure in relation to access of finance for development due to the special circumstances of Maori land tenure. In recognition of tino rangatiratanga (self-determination), I proposed the establishment of a Māori Mutual Society to lend finance for such development. A Māori Mutual would be controlled by the Māori investors and would allow lending to occur according to Māori tikanga (law)
