Dear Ms Beauchamp

 

On 9 August you made a request via email and pursuant to section 12 of the

information: 

•             Total number of portraits of Reserve Bank governors owned or
held by the Bank.

The Reserve Bank owns 10 portraits of former Governors, and spending in
the past five years on such portraits was $12,500 – for a portrait of
former Governor Dr. Alan Bollard.
