Total debt

These graphs show the total consolidated debt in dollar thousands. The amounts appear in the statement of financial position (or equivalent) in the annual reports. Total debt is debt that accrues interest, such as current and non-current borrowings, terms loans, and public debt. Total debt is the cumulative amount the organisation owes to creditors or lenders. It helps in understanding the extent of financial obligations.

In the period 1 January 2016 to 31 March 2020, before Te Pūkenga was established, the 16 institutes of technology and polytechnics (ITPs) operated independently.

The combined debt of the ITPs was relatively constant between 2016 and 2019, except in 2017.

    The ITP data as at 31 March 2020 has been excluded from the graphs but is available in the data file.

    Te Pūkenga began operating on 1 April 2020 and the 16 ITPs became its Crown entity subsidiary companies:

    • At the end of 2020, Te Pūkenga and its Crown entity subsidiary companies reported a combined debt of $121.6 million.
    • At the end of 2022, Te Pūkenga and its Crown entity subsidiary companies reported a combined debt of $44.2 million.
