41694 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Finance

41694 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Finance: In the Minister’s departments, ministries and agencies, if any, how many staff, if any, have been or are planned to be made redundant, between 27 November 2023 and 10 July 2024?

Hon Nicola Willis: The Treasury has not undertaken any redundancies between 27 November 2023 and 10 July 2024. RBNZ has not been asked to identify savings resulting from the Government’s directive to reduce expenditure in the public service due to its unique funding arrangements. RBNZ funding levels are determined through a five-year funding agreement. The approach to the next agreement is the subject of discussion between RBNZ and the Minister of Finance with no final decisions having been made.
