Minister for Finance

I am informed by IBRC that this information is not readily available at this time and the compilation of this information is likely to delay completion of the Mercer Remuneration Report which is a Government priority. I have committed to publishing the details underpinning the review in view of the public interest in the matter. The report will provide a comprehensive and professional analysis of remuneration structures and levels across IBRC and the other Covered Banks both now and before the onset of the banking crisis.
