4170 (2026). Chlöe Swarbrick to the Minister of Finance: Is she considering an excess profits tax on banks in New Zealand, and if not, why not?

Hon Nicola Willis: I am not going to comment on individual proposals or advice at this stage, including whether or not they are being considered, as this would undermine the Budget and policy development.
