Statistics FAQs
Statistics are published on the website at 3pm New Zealand time on the day of the release.
Details of floating and fixed residential mortgages in New Zealand are available in table S33.
The Reserve Bank does not collect data on the number of credit card users in New Zealand so we are unable to give a percentage of people owing interest on their credit cards.
The Bank does provide data on the percentage of outstanding credit card advances, which gives an indication of the value of credit card balances that are accruing interest.
These figures on interest-bearing advances can be found in the second Table C12 spreadsheet. It should be noted that these figures have a one month lag on publication.
Dividing the interest-bearing advances by total advances provides a percentage of the total advances that are interest-bearing. Please note that the interest-bearing advances figure will include accrued interest.
