The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority’s move to scale back its capital requirements for the banking sector has prompted S&P Global Ratings to upgrade its outlook for the nation’s four major banks from ‘negative’ to ‘stable’. The credit ratings agency has also upgraded Macquarie Bank’s outlook from ‘developing’ to ‘positive’. Meanwhile, S&P has indicated that a sharp correction in residential property prices is the biggest risk factor for Australian banks.
