Consultation: Proposed changes to liquidity and capital requirements for authorised deposit-taking institutions

On 15 November 2023, APRA released for consultation its proposed changes to liquidity and capital requirements aimed at strengthening the banking sector’s resilience to future stress.

The proposed changes seek to ensure that ADIs have strong crisis preparedness, prudently value their liquid assets and minimise potential contagion risks.

The changes will be reflected in the following standards and guidance:

• Prudential Standard APS 210 Liquidity (APS 210);
• Prudential Practice Guide APG 210 Liquidity (APG 210); and 
• Prudential Standard APS 111 Capital Adequacy: Measurement of Capital (APS 111).
  Written submissions should be sent to adipolicy@apra.gov.au by 16 February 2024.

The consultation letter, draft standards and guidance, and the Exceptional Liquidity Assistance data request template referenced in Attachment A of the consultation letter can be found below.
