Data is sourced from the Reserve Bank’s Bank Balance Sheet Survey.

Data covers assets and liabilities denominated in both NZ dollars and foreign currency. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are converted into New Zealand dollars in accordance with NZ GAAP.
Data is published on the last working day of the month.
The Statistics Release Calendar provides a long-term plan of scheduled releases. It is updated and released on the first working day of the month.

The Reserve Bank publishes aggregated data. Individual institutional data is confidential.
