The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) with a statement this morning here.
APRA has affirmed its macroprudential policy settings including:
- a neutral level for the countercyclical capital buffer of 1.0 percent of risk weighted assets, providing a buffer in bank capital for stress if needed; and
- a 3 per cent serviceability buffer to maintain prudent lending standards
APRA Chair John Lonsdale said
- settings remain appropriate given the potential for domestic and global economic conditions to deteriorate
