Mr Rob Lewis
Via the FYI website: [FYI request #9897 email]
Dear Mr Lewis
On 21 March 2019 you made a request to the Reserve Bank under provisions of the Official
Information Act (the OIA), seeking:
all correspondence between JP Morgan Chase Bank and the Reserve Bank of New
Zealand leading up to and subsequent to the 23 February 2009 Prudential
Consultation.
Specifically, a copy of correspondence relating to an update in the Governance of JP
Morgan New Zealand, and in particular my standing membership of each of the 6
Country Committees (Operations) which was communicated to the Reserve Bank of
New Zealand by JP Morgan Chase Bank.
Subject to the provisions of the OIA, you will be notified of the outcome of your request as
soon as practicable, but not later than 18 April, being 20 working days after the date of receipt.
The Reserve Bank is resourced to meet disclosure obligations for a reasonable level of Official
Information requests and generally will not impose charges for small, simple or infrequent
requests. However, the Act allows us to charge for preparing information provided in response
to requests and the Reserve Bank believes that requesters should bear some of the costs
when requests are made for very large amounts of information, where a response to a request
is particularly complex, or where individuals or organisations make very frequent requests.
If our initial assessment of your request finds that the work involved in responding to your
request is likely to be chargeable, then the Reserve Bank will contact you to discuss refining
the request to a smaller scale or scope that is less likely to involve charges. Further
information is available on our website, here
