New Zealand Banks' Senior Creditors to Benefit From Potential Issuance of Loss-Absorbing Capacity Instruments, Fitch Says

The senior creditors of New Zealand's four largest banks are expected to benefit from resolution debt buffers built by their Australian parents once New Zealand regulators allow for the issuance of loss-absorbing capacity (LAC) instruments, Fitch Ratings said Thursday.The Reserve Bank of New Zealand's new capital framework mandates internal issuance of LAC instruments to the Australian parents, supporting a single point of entry approach to resolution."We believe the placement of such instruments would provide a mechanism for the New Zealand subsidiaries to access the LAC buffers raised by their parents, reinforcing the subsidiaries' position within the parent banks' broader resolution groups," the ratings agency said.As such, Fitch has revised the outlooks on ANZ Group Holdings (ASX:ANZ, NZE:ANZ) unit ANZ Bank New Zealand, Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX:CBA) unit ASB Bank, Westpac Banking (ASX:WBC, NZE:WBC) unit Westpac New Zealand, and Bank of New Zealand to positive from stable.It added that New Zealand regulators are likely to allow for the issuance of LAC instruments by late 2028.

Fitch Revises Outlook on ANZ Bank New Zealand to Positive

Fitch Ratings on Thursday revised the outlook on ANZ Group Holdings (ASX:ANZ, NZE:ANZ) unit ANZ Bank New Zealand's long-term issuer default ratings to positive from stable while affirming the ratings at "A+."The ratings agency expects to change the anchor rating for ANZ Bank New Zealand's shareholder support rating to the long-term issuer default rating of the parent company from the viability rating once the bank is permitted to issue loss-absorbing capacity instruments to its parent, which is likely to occur by late 2028.Differences in the regulatory capital regimes between Australia and New Zealand currently mean it is uncertain that the bank's senior creditors would benefit from the protection of the parent's resolution debt buffers, Fitch said.The viability rating is driven by the bank's large domestic market position in New Zealand, with a market share of above 25% in loans and deposits. While Fitch expects ANZ Bank's impaired loans to rise modestly in fiscal 2026, it noted that the bank has managed credit risk well so far.The ratings agency said the outlook may be revised to stable if New Zealand's central bank decides ANZ Bank does not need to build loss-absorbing capacity buffers through issuance to its parent, which appears unlikely.

Armaguard's Designation Under Cash Distribution Framework Helps Ensure Cash Availability, Australian Banking Association Says

The designation of cash-in-transit operator Armaguard under Australia's Cash Distribution Framework Act will help provide continued stability to the distribution and availability of cash across the economy, the Australian Banking Association (ABA) said Thursday.The Reserve Bank of Australia disclosed the designation in a same-day statement, saying the move makes Armaguard a regulated entity that is subject to requirements designed to support a sustainable and efficient cash distribution system.The designation should provide further certainty for cash distribution amid a decline in cash usage in Australia, the ABA said. It added that banks and retailers have injected over AU$100 million in financial assistance above contractual conditions to Armaguard over the last two years.Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX:CBA), National Australia Bank Limited (ASX:NAB), Westpac Banking (ASX:WBC, NZE:WBC), and ANZ Group Holdings (ASX:ANZ, NZE:ANZ) are among the members of the ABA.

Australia's Financial Regulator to Review Banks' Lending Practices, Perform Stress Tests, Amid Slowing Credit Growth

The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) will review banks' lending practices over the next 12 to 18 months to safeguard against potentially weaker lending standards amid slowing credit growth, the regulator said Thursday.In the first half of the review period, APRA will prioritize banks' lending to small and medium-sized businesses before increasing its focus on housing lending standards in the second half of the period.The review forms part of the regulator's latest corporate plan, under which it plans to maintain financial system safety and stability without creating undue costs for the industry."As we look across the operating environment, it's clear that the international and domestic economic environments remain challenging," said APRA Chair John Lonsdale. "Geopolitical tensions continue to have economic impacts on inflation, trade relationships and cost-of-living pressures."Additionally, APRA will conduct a joint stress-test exercise with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand to gauge resilience against a severe economic downturn at both the parent and subsidiary bank level. It will also start work on a new system-risk stress test to build on the entity-level testing.The shares of Australia's top banks, some of which have flagged a slowdown in mortgage applications, were lower in recent Thursday trade.Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX:CBA) fell nearly 3%, while ANZ Group Holdings (ASX:ANZ, NZE:ANZ), Westpac Banking (ASX:WBC, NZE:WBC), National Australia Bank Limited (ASX:NAB), and Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited (ASX:BEN) all shed about 2%.
