Push is on for normalised lending

Time for risk on

A brief snapshot of a few of the lead articles today from the Australian Financial Review...



A fairly conclusive message from a range of different sources. 

It looks like a somewhat co-ordinated push to let banks lend again without needing to run extremely stringent stress tests for approximately 10 per cent mortgage rates which clearly aren't going to eventuate. 

The UK scrapped its equivalent buffer long ago, now requiring a minimum 1 percentage point buffer, while factoring in rising power prices.

Yet in Australia we're still stuck with an unprecedented 3 percentage point buffers. 


Time to get back to normal!
