ASX Sharemarket News

In ASX sharemarket news, investors will be watching to see if there is any further reaction to yesterday’s announcement by APRA that it still expects banks to increase their loss absorbing capacity over the next few years.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA) was one of the banks to issue a response, “Based on CBA’s risk-weighted assets of $447 billion as at 31 March 2019, the additional three percentage points represent an incremental increase of approximately $13 billion of Total Capital.” However, the bank is not sure how much this change will cost to raise that much money yet.

However, APRA is still looking for ways to add additional one or two percentage points of total capital over the coming years.
