Dear Adam,

 

Official information request for information explaining why the RBNZ does
not display core inflation data on its website (similar to Japan's Reserve
Bank).

 

Thank you for your official information request of 5 October 2022 for:

 

I request under the Official Information Act why does the RBNZ not display
core inflation (similar to Japan's Reserve Bank, inflation minus energy
and food) data on its website. Also has any research gone into how Japan
has managed to maintain low inflation and interest rates within its
economy and what if any policy prescriptions have resulted in New Zealand
from these learnings.

 

We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible and in
any event no later than 3 November 2022, 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

Yours sincerely
