Financing
Financing for our build programme and renewal of older public homes will be met by borrowing through New Zealand Debt Management (NZDM). Kāinga Ora financing for this work up until 11 November 2022 has previously been met through private market financing.
Kāinga Ora is no longer offering bonds and bills, documents and other information on our website are historical and for existing bond holders.
