Cabinet will decide today how New Zealand marks the Queen's death.
A memorial service to "celebrate her life and reign" will take place in Wellington after the Queen's funeral in London next Monday.
And Cabinet is weighing up whether there should also be a public holiday.
The UK will have one, and other countries where the Queen was Head of State, such as Australia, are following suit.
The chief executive of Business New Zealand, Kirk Hope, is not a fan of that happening here.
And while Infometrics economist Brad Olsen says while public holidays are expensive - it's estimated Matariki cost more than $400-million - this would be a one-off.
Political reporter Anneke Smith spoke to Max Towle.
