APRA releases quarterly authorised deposit-taking institution statistics for September 2022

The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) has released the Quarterly Authorised Deposit-taking Institution (ADI) Performance and the Quarterly ADI Property Exposure publications for the quarter ending 30 September 2022.

ADIs’ profitability, asset quality, capital and liquidity positions remained strong over the September 2022 quarter. ADIs’ net profit increased by 8.0 per cent for the year ended September 2022, largely due to improvements in net interest income. The non-performing loan ratio improved in the quarter, with rising interest rates yet to have a material impact on asset quality.  

The risk characteristics of ADIs’ new residential mortgage lending are improving. Lending at high debt-to-income (DTI ≥ 6 times) has declined substantially over the past 12 months, from 23.3 per cent of new lending in the September 2021 quarter, to 17.1 per cent in September 2022. New lending at high loan-to-valuation ratios (LVR ≥ 90 per cent) also declined, from 7.5 per cent in September 2021 to 6.2 per cent in September 2022. New residential mortgages funded in the quarter were $151.0 billion, declining by 10.0 per cent compared to the same quarter last year; however, this is still above pre-pandemic levels.

Commercial real estate lending has continued to grow strongly. ADIs’ commercial property limits increased by 9.5 per cent, and actual exposures by 10.0 per cent, compared to the same quarter last year. Non-performing commercial property loans as a share of commercial property actual exposures remained unchanged from the previous June quarter at 0.5 per cent.
