APRA releases quarterly authorised deposit-taking institution statistics for June 2021

The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) has released the Quarterly Authorised Deposit-taking Institution (ADI) Performance and the Quarterly ADI Property Exposures publications for the quarter ending June 2021.

Measures of ADI industry resilience were strong in the June 2021 quarter. Across the industry, ADIs held strong capital and liquidity positions. Industry profitability improved over the past year, while non-performing loans remained broadly stable. However, the outlook appears uncertain, given the challenges currently faced by the industry from the delta variant of COVID-19 and ongoing lockdowns. Government stimulus and APRA’s second round of concessionary treatment for loan repayment deferrals should provide some support.

In residential mortgage lending, the share of new lending with high debt-to-income ratios increased over the quarter, continuing to be influenced by the low interest rate environment and increasing house prices. Other measures of higher-risk residential mortgage lending fell, including the share of new lending with high loan-to-valuation ratios. Key measures of asset quality remain strong, although this may be impacted by recent lockdowns and the expected impact on borrower’s ability to service their loans.
