Good afternoon,

 

On 18 February 2021, I emailed you to clarify the scope of your request. I am now emailing to follow up on this clarification.

 

You had requested “…details of any communication between the Reserve Bank, Treasury,  and any other government departments and external parties regarding the removal/changes to our current financial markets and proposed 'digital economy'.”

 

In my last email to you, I provided you with the following links to information on the digital economy:

• The Review of the Reserve Bank Act: https://www.treasury.govt.nz/news-and-events/reviews-consultation/reviewing-reserve-bank-act   
• Digital economy work: https://www.mbie.govt.nz/business-and-employment/economic-development/digital-economy/digital-economy-work/
• Changes to financial market regulation, such as KiwiSaver, financial advice, insurance contract law, conduct of financial institutions: https://www.mbie.govt.nz/business-and-employment/business/financial-markets-regulation/

 

The information you have asked for is broad and unspecific.  To help us provide you with the information you are interested in, could you please tell us what removal/changes to our current financial markets and proposed 'digital economy' you would specifically like information on and a specific time frame or dates?

If you are unable to refine your request by Friday 26 February 2021, we may have to refuse your request under section 18(f) of the Official Information Act 1982: that the information requested cannot be made available without substantial collation or research.

 

Kind regards,

Adam
