Advisory Group Membership
[ Last Updated 30 January 2006 ]
Introduction
We have established eight advisory groups to provide advice and expertise to MED officials on options development, costs and benefits of various proposals and implementation. Advisory groups will act as a sounding board to ensure that the policy proposals meet the needs and circumstances of New Zealand industry and consumers. Advisory groups are not responsible for any conclusions or decisions on the Review, nor are advisory groups expected to produce a report or any other documentation or make any formal recommendations. For full details of what the advisory groups are tasked with, see the Terms of Reference for Advisory Groups for the Review of Financial Products and Providers.
The advisory groups are made up of people from industry participants and organisations, professional organisations, government bodies and consumer organisations. Members of the advisory groups have been appointed in their individual capacity rather than as representatives of a particular group or industry group.
Six advisory groups have been established in Wellington focusing on the following areas of the Review: disclosure, equity and debt, collective investment schemes, non-bank deposit taking institutions, superannuation and insurance. Two advisory groups have been established in Auckland - one of the groups will focus on disclosure, equity, debt and collective investment schemes, and the other advisory group will focus on superannuation and insurance.
Due to size restrictions we could not include all stakeholders on the advisory groups. We are very keen to hear from any people and organisations interested in the Review, regardless of whether they are appointed to advisory groups or not. Please contact us with your comments or if you would like to arrange a meeting with MED officials.
