Reasons for Change in Appropriation

The appropriation decreased by $2.158 million to $73.239 million for 2018/19 due to:

  • a decrease of $2.042 million resulting from the Budget 2019 initiative Reprioritisation of Funding - Forecast Departmental Underspends
  • a retention of underspend decrease of $1.200 million to enable the establishment of the Pacific Enabling Fund in the 2019/20 financial year, which will support New Zealand's engagement with Pacific partners on a diverse range of activities that sit outside the formal aid funding arrangements
  • a retention of underspend decrease of $253,000 to meet the operating costs of the investigation and design phases of capital projects to be advanced in the 2019/20 financial year, and
  • a net decrease of $4,000 resulting from changes in capital charge and depreciation arising from property revaluations.

These decreases are partially offset by:

  • an increase of $1.074 million resulting from a fiscally neutral adjustment to reflect the reprioritisation of resources across the Ministry's output expenses, and
  • an increase of $267,000 resulting from foreign exchange rate and overseas inflation movements.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

The net adjustment of $33.817 million in 2018/19 reflects two factors:

  • increases of $10.160 million and $19.342 million in 2019/20 and 2020/21 respectively from the new initiatives package approved in Budget 2019 for "Increasing New Zealand's Investment to Deliver on the Pacific Reset and to Demonstrate Global Leadership", and
  • an increase of $4.315 million in the 2018/19 financial year being the unexpended 2017/18 year-end balances from the previous two multi-year appropriations that expired on 30 June 2018, increasing the estimated actual for 2018/19 to $697.311 million.
