Investor Confidence Regime (which funds some Defence capital expenditure)

J. Cone made this Official Information request to Minister of Defence

The request was successful.

From: J. Cone

Dear Minister of Defence,

This request and a variety of others, arise at least in part from the rather non-specific links in a previous request:

https://fyi.org.nz/request/6056/response...

I am making a series of separate requests, rather than one combined one, in order to avoid including well-answered requests in any subsequent complaint to the Ombudsman.

In so far as the response to any of these requests is to publish something on the Web and then send a link to me, please feel free to send the same link(s) in multiple responses.

Cabinet Minute CAB-17-MIN-0150.07: 2017 Budget Package: Vote Defence (Technical Initiatives)
http://www.treasury.govt.nz/downloads/pd...
refers on page 2 to the Minister of Defence as having "delegated authority from the Investor Confidence Regime".

What is the legislative basis for the Investor Confidence Regime refered to above?

What is its stated purpose?

Please may I have an etymology for "Investor Confidence" in this context? ie who are the investors, and what are they intended to have confidence in?

What are its annual capital and operating budgets for the number of years, past and future, for which data is readily available?

From what source(s) does that funding come?

Which members of parliament and publicly visible officials have delegated authority from it?

Yours faithfully,

J. Cone

Dear Elliot Isaacs,

Please find here a page about the Investor Confidence Rating system:
http://www.treasury.govt.nz/statesector/...

It results in a grade from A to E.

Nothing that I have found on that page suggests that it pays for upgrades to 81 mm Mortars.

Could you please confirm the transfer to Treasury?

Yours sincerely,

J. Cone

I have spoken with Ben McBride and Ian, whose other name I have unfortunately lost.

I think that my question was mis-posed, and that the authority may be to approve the investment, rather than to provide funds for it.

I have asked for one of my questions to be amplified. The new wording is something like: Which officials have delegations from the Investor Confidence Regime? What is the nature and limit of those delegations?

I have been given to expect a response to that question on Monday, via fyi.org.nz.
