Reserve Bank Capital Review

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand issued a media briefing on 22 February 2019 proposing stricter capital requirements to enhance banking system resilience and protect depositors. The plan mandates that the big four banks increase their Tier 1 capital ratio from 12% to 16% over five years, while other banks must raise their ratio from 14% to 15%. This regulatory change aims to ensure banks can withstand significant economic shocks, with a consultation period closing on 3 May 2019 before final decisions are released in the third quarter.
