The Commission produces quarterly monitoring reports, which monitor the performance of engine fuel markets in New Zealand under the Fuel Industry Act 2020.
These reports are based on the Commission’s analysis of the information disclosures (ID) provided by fuel companies each quarter, and provide snapshots of the competitive performance of engine fuel markets in New Zealand.
Over time, the Commission expects to build a more robust picture of their performance as more data becomes available under ID.
Quarterly monitoring reports
The Fuel Quarterly Monitoring Reports have been available since November 2022. In that time, the Commission has built the foundation of a solid data base that continues to grow. From mid-2024 the Fuel Quarterly Monitoring Reports will look different to what has been produced to date. Specifically, these reports will no longer include high level commentary, and will not focus on specific issues. This will enable the Commission to deliver more timely monitoring reports. This will also allow the Commission to work on other analysis and produce more Focus Reports. We will continue to monitor trends in the ID data, and will use this to inform and prioritise further analysis as it comes to hand.
In addition to the quarterly reporting, the Commission occasionally publishes focus reports that supplement the analysis of quarterly information disclosure data.
