1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#

Total Vote: All Appropriations

Trends in actual expenditure since 2016/17, estimated expenditure for 2020/21 and the trajectory of appropriations out to 2024/25 are shown in Figure 1 below. The impact of COVID-19 is also evident from Figure 1 with actual expenditure in 2019/20 significantly below all appropriations, while estimated expenditure for 2020/21 is below the final supplementary estimates appropriations for departmental capital expenditure and the multi-category appropriation. Commentary on the key drivers of movements in the trend by appropriation type follows Figure 1.

COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the Ministry's business operations, initiatives and activities in the 2020/21 financial year, particularly those that are travel dependent, and it appears set to continue to be disruptive during the 2021/22 financial year. The lower overall expenditure caused by COVID-19 enabled the Ministry to respond to the immediate needs arising from the event, notably providing assistance to the thousands of New Zealanders overseas, and to sustain New Zealand's offshore network. The Ministry has used expense transfers and technical budget initiatives funded from savings help alleviate COVID-19 and other cost pressures; continue to respond to the needs of the offshore network; inject momentum into the Ministry's Well-being, property and maintenance programmes, and advance apace a number of diplomatic initiatives, such as the ASEAN Plan of Action.

The significant changes in departmental and non-departmental appropriations are summarised below.

Figure 1 - Vote trends in actual expenses and capital expenditure by appropriation type

Output Expenses

The Ministry has two departmental output expenses, of which Hosting APEC 2021 is the most significant, and five non-departmental output expenses, of which Antarctic Research and Support and Expo 2020 Dubai are the most significant. The initial increase in actual output expenses in 2016/17 is primarily attributable to a Budget 2016 increase in funding ($3.035 million) for logistics support and a fiscally neutral transfer of $3 million from Vote Foreign Affairs and Trade for Antarctica New Zealand. From the 2017/18 financial year there are progressive annual increases in output expenses through to 2024/25 reflecting the provision of policy initiative funding for:

Expo 2020 Dubai ($61.020 million), which commenced in 2017/18 and ceases in 2022/23
Hosting APEC 2021 ($184.140 million), which commenced in 2018/19 and ceases in 2021/22. In July 2020 Cabinet agreed that the amount appropriated for APEC could be reduced by $107.600 million, reflecting the decision that New Zealand host a largely virtual APEC in 2021, including all high-level meetings and the Leaders' meeting, and
Antarctic Research and Support ($43 million), which commenced in 2021/22 through to 2024/25 to support the re-development of Scott Base.

Non-Departmental Other Expenses

The Ministry's non-departmental other expenses primarily comprise two appropriations, Subscriptions to International Organisations and International Development Cooperation. Actual prior year expenditure on the former from 2016/17 ($50.669 million) through to the estimated actual for 2020/21 ($60.729 million), and which remains unchanged in the outyears, has fluctuated due to changes both in the cost of subscriptions and the associated foreign currency exchange rates, in respect of the non-discretionary payments required as formal obligations arising from New Zealand's membership of international organisations, and as a signatory to international treaties and conventions.

This is the final year of the multi-year appropriation (International Development Cooperation) approved for the three-year period 2018/19 to 2020/21. The appropriation increased to $2,268.895 million reflecting new policy initiatives approved in Budget 2018 ($432.677 million), Budget 2019 ($29.502 million) and Budget 2020 ($50.169 million). A new three-year multi-year appropriation totalling $2,538.709 million comes into effect from 1 July 2021, and represents the conversion and transfer of three years of previously approved funding from the existing annual International Development Cooperation appropriation to the new multi-year appropriation.

Capital Expenditure

The trend of capital expenditure reflects the timing and level of expenditure for the replacement and renewal of existing assets and additional capital investments, as reflected in the Ministry's Capital Plan.

Estimated actual Departmental expenditure in 2020/21 totals $40 million, reflecting the adverse impact of COVID-19 on the delivery of the capital investment programme. The appropriation increases to $62.508 million in 2020/21, reflecting the scheduling of building construction and refurbishment work within the Ministry's capital programme (funded from the Ministry's capital reserves), together with capital injections for the investment required to comply with updated health and safety legislation, and to keep our people, information and physical assets safe ($10.500 million), and to provide the physical infrastructure needed to support the desired policy direction of the Pacific Reset ($10.700 million). There are further capital injections totalling $37.125 million for the Pacific Reset over the two outyears to 2023/24.

Non-Departmental Capital Expenditure

Non-Departmental capital expenditure comprises two appropriations as follows:

New Zealand Antarctic Institute for the redevelopment of Scott Base, with funding of $267 million over the planning horizon 2021/22 through to 2024/25, and
Consular Loans for the provision of recoverable financial assistance to New Zealanders in distress overseas to help them meet essential and immediate needs, including the costs of repatriation, with funding of $5.400 million over the planning horizon 2021/22 through to 2024/25.

Multi-Category Output Expenses

The multi-category appropriation was new in 2020/21, with the historical trend information through to 2019/20 represented by expenditure from a number of dis-established appropriations from the previous Vote Foreign Affairs and Trade and Vote Official Development Assistance.

The year-on-year upward trend in this appropriation through to 2021/22 (inclusive of expense transfers and technical budget initiatives funded by savings), which then stabilises in the outyears, primarily reflects annual funding increases from new initiative packages approved in successive budgets and effective from the 2017/18 financial year onwards. Actual expenditure in 2019/20 was below appropriation (4%) while estimated actual expenditure for 2020/21 is forecast to be some 8% below the final supplementary estimates. These two results reflect the impact of COVID-19 on the Ministry's business operations, initiatives and activities.

While actual expenditure was $444.498 million in the COVID-19 affected 2019/20, the annual increases in the appropriation through the planning horizon reflecting the injection of additional funding, derive from the following key factors:

International Development Cooperation

The Government has historically targeted growth in the International Development Cooperation programme in line with movements in Gross National Income, and increased funding for the management of the programme has been commensurate, as follows:

Budget 2018 new funding associated with "increasing our aid to tackle the biggest global and regional challenges of our time" totalling $11.930 million in 2018/19, $15.566 million in 2019/20, $19.248 million in 2020/21 and $22.892 million in 2021/22 and each of the outyears
Budget 2019 new funding associated with "increasing New Zealand's Investment to Deliver on the Pacific Reset and to Demonstrate Global Leadership" totalling $1.098 million in 2019/20, $2.090 million in 2020/21, $2.590 million in 2021/22 and $6.756 million in 2022/23 and each of the outyears
Budget 2020 new funding associated with "increasing New Zealand's international assistance to ensure strong governance and inclusive development" totalling $5.420 million in 2020/21 only.

New Posts

Additional funding has been provided to enable the establishment of new overseas posts as follows:

Budget 2016 funding for the establishment of an embassy in Bogota, Colombia, being $3.626 million in 2018/19 and $3.719 million in 2019/20 and each of the outyears
Budget 2017 funding for the establishment of a New Zealand High Commission in Sri Lanka, and the establishment of a New Zealand Embassy in Ireland, totalling $3.091 million in 2018/19, $6.258 million in 2019/20, and $6.278 million in 2020/21 and each of the outyears.

Growing Capability and Capacity

Investment has been made to ensure the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade has the required capability and capacity to deliver on its strategic goals, as follows:

Budget 2017 funding for the initiatives making New Zealanders more prosperous through trade and making New Zealanders more connected totalling $6.541 million in 2018/19, $7.139 million in 2019/20, $8.864 million in 2020/21 and 2021/22, and $8.602 million in 2022/23 and each of the outyears
Budget 2018 funding for Foreign and Trade Policy Challenges comprising meeting departmental pressures, increasing departmental capability (including the establishment of a New Zealand embassy in Stockholm, Sweden), and departmental capital pressures totalling $22.569 million in 2018/19, $31.533 million in 2019/20, $42.898 million in 2020/21 and $53.434 million in 2021/22 and each of the outyears
Budget 2020 funding over the planning horizon to 2023/24 for providing the physical infrastructure needed to support the desired policy direction of the Pacific Reset ($14.600 million).

Savings Delivered

The Ministry's contribution to the Budget 2019 initiative Reprioritisation of Funding - Forecast Departmental Underspends totals $20.217 million over the period 2018/19 to 2022/23.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

In June 2020 approval was granted for the establishment of a non-departmental capital expenditure appropriation for the funding of consular loans to New Zealanders in distress overseas, to help them meet essential and immediate needs, including the costs of repatriation. An appropriation of $5 million was approved for the 2020/21 financial year. The volume of consular demands in 2020/21 has been lower than assumed and the demand for financial assistance for the remainder of the year can be managed within a total appropriation of $3 million. The impact of COVID-19 on consular demands is expected to be longer than originally assumed. Consequently the residual $2 million of the original appropriation has been transferred to the 2021/2022 financial year so that the Ministry has the financial capacity to respond to increased consular demands.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

The increase of $31.437 million in the appropriation to $502.204 million in 2021/22, is primarily due to:

an increase of $18.469 million from expense transfers from 2020/21 into 2021/22
an increase of $13.200 million from a savings-funded technical budget initiative package, which includes the ASEAN Plan of Action and COVID-19 Recovery Initiatives
an increase of $9.660 million from the new initiatives packages in prior year Budgets (as detailed in the Current and Past Policy Initiatives table above)
an increase of $765,000 reflecting a fiscally neutral transfer in 2020/21 of the balance of funding from the air freight arrangement proposed by the Government of Singapore, to Vote Transport
an increase of $424,000 resulting from foreign exchange rate and overseas inflation movements, and
an increase of $100,000 reflecting a fiscally neutral transfer of funding to Consular Loan Expenses.

These increases are partially offset by:

a decrease of $7.054 million from prior year expense transfers into 2020/21
a decrease of $3.008 million from the retention of 2019/20 underspends in 2020/21
a decrease of $991,000 to reflect the actual 2019/20 under-expenditure on the air freight arrangement proposed by the Government of Singapore, and
a decrease of $128,000 reflecting the reduction in the capital charge rate from 6% to 5% with effect from 1 July 2020.
