Fiscal Outlook
Budget Responsibility Rules

Current Government is committed to prudent fiscal strategy with 5 Budget
Responsibility Rules:

•     Deliver a sustainable operating surplus across an economic cycle.

•     Reduce the level of net core Crown debt to 20 per cent of GDP within five years of taking office.

•     Prioritise investments to address the long-term financial and sustainability challenges facing
      New Zealand.

•     Take a prudent approach to ensure expenditure is phased, controlled and directed to maximise its benefits. The Government
      will maintain its expenditure to within the recent historical range of spending to GDP ratio.

•     Ensure a progressive taxation system that is fair, balanced and promotes the long-term sustainability and productivity of the
      economy.

              Forecasts – New Zealand Government Bonds and Treasury Bills

             •     Inflation-indexed bond issuance is expected to be around NZ$1 billion of the NZ$8 billion
                   2018/19 bond programme.

             •     There are plans to commence a repurchase programme of the 15 April 2020 nominal bond
                   before the 30 June 2019. Repurchase activities will be dependent on portfolio requirements
                   and market conditions.

             •     Forecast NZGBs on issue are consistent with the Government’s commitment to maintain
                   levels of NZGBs on issue at not less than 20 percent of GDP over time. This commitment
                   was taken into consideration when setting the forecast annual bond programme for the
                   2022/23 year.
