Twice a year we put out the Financial Stability Report. It assesses the health of banks and other deposit-taking institutions, the insurance sector and the payments system in New Zealand.

It highlights potential risk areas and the measures we are taking to respond to them. It is also a useful resource for individuals and businesses.

Learn how we promote the stability of our financial system in our November 2023 Financial Stability Report.
