The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority has lodged its submission to the Federal Government’s financial system review. The watchdog wants global rules for the banking sector that require greater capital reserves for mortgage lending to apply locally. It is also sharing concerns of the Reserve Bank of Australia that more liberal lending standards could create unsustainable prices in the residential real estate market. Banks using advanced systems can access public guarantees at a lower cost
