Plenary 3 Australian Mortgage Market – The Best of Times?
This plenary will provide an overview of the current state of the Australian mortgage market from the perspective of one of Australia’s leading bankers.

Plenary 4 The Changing Rules of the Game - Bank Capital and Liquidity
Do banks have sufficient capital? What is that capital sufficient for? Has the risk based approach to capital been a success and should it be allowed to continue? How will the issue of public sector support for systemically important banks be resolved? Are the liquidity and funding risks that banks face now adequately managed? These questions and more are all playing out both domestically and internationally, and will have significant consequences for the economics of the sector and bank strategy.
