Reserve Bank of New Zealand
Dear Helen,
Thank you for the following request of 4 April 2021 under the Official
Information Act 1989 (OIA):
I would like to know the reason why Bank of China has not published its
disclosure statement on time and have they apply for extension. If they
did how long the extension has been granted for and can you share the
communication between you and Bank of china about the reason why they need
the extension?
We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible and in
any event no later than 4 May 2021, 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 OIA 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. 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
[1]www.rbnz.govt.nz/research-and-publications/official-information-requests.
Yours sincerely
