My Department is financed through voted expenditure and, therefore, does not keep savings on deposit. As a result, no interest has been charged in relation to my Department's four Votes (Vote 11 Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, Vote 39 Office of Public Procurement, Vote 43 Office of the Government Chief Information Officer and Vote 12 Superannuation) since the introduction of negative interest rates.
