Dear Martin

 

Thank you for your official information request of 22 July 2020 for the
following:

 

“With reference to newly-issued NZ Govt bonds purchased to date on the
secondary market under the LSAP programme, can you advise the cost (actual
or estimated) of purchasing bonds from the secondary market compared to
purchasing those bonds at face value directly from Treasury.

 

For the purpose of clarifying my request, I am looking for the "margin"
accruing to financial intermediaries that is incurred from purchasing
bonds on the secondary market rather than directly from Treasury.”

 

We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible and in
any event no later than 19 August 2020, being 20 working days after the
day of your request. If we are unable to respond to your request by then,
we will notify you of an extension of that timeframe.

 

Charges for providing official information and publishing responses

The Official Information Act allows charges to be imposed for the
preparation of information that we send in response to requests. The
Reserve Bank is resourced to meet disclosure obligations for a reasonable
level of requests and generally will not impose charges for small, simple
or infrequent requests. Where the request is for information that requires
substantial collation, research and preparation work, and is chargeable,
we will work with you first to refine the request to a smaller scale or
scope that is less likely to involve charges.

 

Responses to official information requests are published on the Reserve
Bank’s website. We will confirm in our decision letter to you whether we
intend to publish our response to your request.

 

Further information about charges and publishing responses is available on
our website at
[1]www.rbnz.govt.nz/research-and-publications/official-information-requests.

 

Yours sincerely
