  • The central bank is reassessing how much money banks need to hold amid criticism its policy is too tough and costly.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) has initiated a review of the capital requirements for banks, aiming to ensure that these regulations remain effective in maintaining financial stability. This review will assess whether the current capital settings are appropriate for the risks banks face, considering changes in the financial landscape since the last major review in 2019. The RBNZ plans to engage with the public and stakeholders through a consultation process, with the review expected to conclude by mid-2024. The focus will be on evaluating the adequacy of capital to absorb losses, the impact on lending, and the overall resilience of the banking sector.
