APRA and the RBA consider there to be sufficient HQLA for banks to meet LCR requirements and for the foreseeable future without the need to utilise the CLF.
September 10, 2021APRA proposes that banks maintain at least 30 percent of their LCR Net Cash Outflows in self-securitised assets, separate from that used as collateral for the CLF.
July 15, 2021If outstanding government securities continue to increase beyond 2021, the CLF may no longer be required in the foreseeable future, APRA says.
January 7, 2021Initially planned to be achieved through a gradual increase until 2024, the RBA said banks can increase their holdings of HQLA to 30 percent by end-2021.
November 26, 2020Five banks applied for a reduction, reducing the aggregate CLF allocated to banks from A$223bn at 1 January 2020 to A$188 billion.
November 6, 2020The changes will require banks to decrease their holdings of private sector liquid assets in favour of buying more government debt.
September 9, 2020Banks can increase the proportion of government securities they hold to meet prudential liquidity requirements.
