The RBNZ deputy governor, Grant Spencer, released the policy outcome statement following consultation with the industry since August on changes intended to reduce banks’ compliance costs while creating more readily useful information about their financial strength.
“Some elements of the regime will be dropped completely, while other parts, which can be costly to produce, will be streamlined and simplified,” Spencer said.

However, the RBNZ has dropped its intention to make banks produce an interest-rate re-pricing schedule every quarter rather than every six months, following feedback demonstrating the extra costs would “outweigh the advantages of more frequent updates.”
The overhaul of the disclosure regime is the first since it was established in 1996.
