As permitted by S91A of the Public Finance Act, the Government entered into two currency swap arrangements during the quarter. Under such arrangements the proceeds of a borrowing are converted into a different currency and, simultaneously, a forward exchange agreement is executed providing for a schedule of future exchanges of the two currencies in order to recover the currency obtained in the conversion. The effect is to transform the cost of the original borrowing to a cost which reflects the market yield of the currency obtained.
While it is impracticable to record the details of the swap arrangements in the public debt tables, the following schedule shows the effect of swap transactions undertaken during the quarter. The foreign currencies have been converted at bank rates prevailing on 1 December 1986.
| Year | US Dollar (NZ$000) | Yen (NZ$000) |

| 1992 | 247,788 cr | 245,048 dr |
