Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation will increase by $897,000 to $55.952 million in 2012/13. The movement arises from:
- an increase of $397,000 arising from foreign exchange and overseas inflation
- an increase of $3.500 million for an expense transfer for modernisation and Pacific Island Forum initiatives
- a decrease of $3 million from an underspend due to core business efficiency savings.
