Directorate Statement on the Conclusion of the Stability Review

The strength of a system is not the absence of error.

It is the speed with which error is recognised, communicated, and corrected.

— Director-General Elias Ward, Council Chamber

The Director-General today addressed the Council Chamber on the conclusion of the Stability Review. In a brief statement of fewer than nine hundred words, Director Ward thanked the Directorate of Analytics, the Ministry of Development, and the affected district authorities for the conduct of the review.

The Director-General confirmed that no structural changes to the Protocol framework will be required. Methodological refinements identified during the review have been adopted and will become standard practice across all forecasting models.
