Reserve Bank of New Zealand Feedback Statement on Consultation Regarding Registered Bank Disclosure Requirements

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand has finalized a review of registered bank disclosure requirements, adopting Option B to significantly reduce compliance costs and streamline reporting. The new regime eliminates the quarterly Key Information Summary and Supplemental Disclosure Statement in favor of a single quarterly document aimed at financially experienced readers. Key changes include shortening the half-year disclosure deadline to two months, requiring interim accounting standards for half-year statements, and mandating that disclosure documents be easily accessible on bank websites with a five-year archive.
