We have published an updated version our ‘working copy’ of the disclosure Order in Council for New Zealand-incorporated registered banks, to incorporate the changes made by the amendment Order. This is available on the following page:

From February to May 2022, we consulted on changes to the information that New Zealand-incorporated registered banks must publish in their six-monthly disclosure statements.

The main changes were to introduce ‘dual reporting’, which was one element of the Capital Review final policy decisions published in December 2019.

In October 2023 we published a summary of the submissions we received on the consultation paper and our final decisions on the policy proposals in light of those submissions.

Submission documents

During October 2023 we consulted on an exposure draft of the amendment Order in Council needed to implement the disclosure changes, as confirmed after the first consultation. We asked for feedback on the drafting details to ensure that the text achieved the intended outcomes in the feedback statement.

The exposure draft also covered some other disclosure changes, relating to recently announced policy changes on connected exposures, mutual capital instruments, and new risk-weight categories for credit risk.

We received one submission suggesting some minor drafting changes, and we have given consideration to these in the final version of the Amending Order that has been made.
