As is usual ahead of a government bond maturity, the Reserve Bank will assume responsibility from New Zealand Debt Management to repurchase NZ government bonds maturing 15 April 2023 for liquidity management purposes and to support the efficient functioning of the New Zealand bond market. Purchases will either be held to maturity on the Bank's balance sheet, or on-sold to New Zealand Debt Management (where the bonds will be cancelled).
This repurchase programme relates to our standard liquidity management operations, and has no implications for the Reserve Bank’s stance on monetary policy.
