Kia ora A KS,

Apologies for the delay, it appears that during the time period between your first request and second request, there was a change in methodology for capturing the data for withdrawals. It is understandable that you would like the methodology used to be the same in both requests so that you may compare the figures. We are working on updating the figure so that you may have comparative figures.
