Answer

Stats NZ is New Zealand’s official data agency. As part of its core statutory role, it collects information from people and organisations through official surveys. These surveys are designed, managed, and conducted internally by Stats NZ and are not commissioned from external providers. A list of surveys currently being undertaken by Stats NZ is available on its website: https://www.stats.govt.nz/help-with-surveys/list-of-stats-nz-surveys/. As this does not comprise external polling or survey work, there are no associated costs to report.
