Quality

Changes in methodology

From August 2016 data has been sourced from a securities database developed by the Reserve Bank.

Data has been backdated to July 2015 but may differ from previously published data due to improvements in the classification of entities to the resident or non-resident sector..

Data quality

The total amount of government securities on issue matches the data published by the NZDMO. In instances where the Reserve Bank repurchases government securities on behalf of the NZDMO, the data will not reconcile with that of NZDMO. Data for this is published in the Open market operations table (D3).
