Australian regulator warns of (slowly) rising arrears on mortgage and business loans

0 6

The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) is the prudential regulator for the Australian financial services industry.

  • The macroprudential policy settings will be maintained as they are following the latest quarterly assessment of domestic and international economic conditions.

  • The quality of new housing loans remains good, and delinquency rates on both real estate and commercial loan portfolios continue to rise slowly.
  • The mortgage serviceability buffer will be maintained at 3 percentage points and lending limits will not apply.
  • The countercyclical capital buffer will remain at 1.0% of risk-weighted assets.

The authority’s comments come on the heels of its latest quarterly assessment of local and international economic conditions.
