How much in total, if any, is forecast to be spent on renumeration of Crown appointees in the Minister's departments, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, for the 2026-27 financial year?

Answer

The budgeted total remuneration for each body for which I am responsible is classified as an operational expense and is individually budgeted by each entity. The forecasted remuneration for New Zealand Trade and Enterprise is estimated at $341,353, while the forecasted remuneration for New Zealand Growth Capital Partners is estimated at $276,008. These will be published in their annual reports at the end of the current financial year.
