Finance Minister Bill English today said the Earthquake Commission (EQC) had increased its liability by about $4b to $7.1b. The total cost to the Government is $12.9b.
The new estimates will run down the Natural Disaster Relief Fund to zero, leaving the Government to pay for any shortfall and to foot the bill on any fresh disasters.
