APRA releases quarterly authorised deposit-taking institution statistics for September 2023
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 2023.
The banking industry remained well capitalised, with profitability contributing to increases in the capital base. Liquidity buffers remain well above minimum requirements. Asset quality remained robust.
Housing credit growth continued over the year to September 2023. Mortgage refinancing reached a new high in absolute terms, in part driven by strong competition. New lending remains prudent with lending at a high debt-to-income (DTI) ratio or a high loan-to-valuation ratio (LVR) declining.
