Banking Prudential Requirements

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand maintains the Banking Prudential Requirements, formerly the Banking Supervision Handbook, to regulate registered banks. The framework mandates specific capital, liquidity, and disclosure standards while listing numerous policy documents covering areas such as outsourcing, corporate governance, and mortgage lending restrictions. Recent updates include phased-in capital requirements, revised liquidity policies, and changes to public disclosure rules regarding registration breaches.
