The ANZ Bank currently has a lower common equity tier 1 capital ratio than its peers, although at 8.7 per cent it is comfortably above the minimum requirement. However, Andrew Triggs of Deutsche Bank expects ANZ to offload some of its stakes in Asian banks in order to lift its capital ratio. He estimates that selling stakes in three of these banks – as well as the Esanda business – could boost ANZ’s capital ratio to more than 10 per cent.
