Extractions: This paper examines the consequences of branch banking for the Australian economy. There is little evidence to show that branching increased the stability of Australian banking. In 1893 Australia suffered the worst panic ever in a branch banking country. During the crisis, more extensively branched banks were more likely to suspend payments. However, it is shown that branching increased the provision of banking services to rural areas. This occurred because branch banks could reallocate capital from urban to rural regions at low cost, whereas unit banks typically had to raise all their capital and issue all of their loans locally.

Extractions: The financial system in Australia can be thought of as having three overlapping components. The first component consists of financial enterprises (such as banks) and regulatory authorities, the Reserve Bank and the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority. The second consists of financial markets (for example, the bond market) and their participants (issuers such as governments, and investors such as superannuation funds). The third is the payments system-that is, the cash, cheque and electronic means by which payments are effected-and its participants (for example, banks). The interaction of these components enables funds for investment or consumption to be made available from savings in other parts of the national or international economy. The banking system comprise the Reserve Bank of Australia and 48 banks. Of these, 28 are foreign-owned, the 122 branches of which are not subject to the depositor provisions of the Banking Act 1959. Banks from the US, the UK, New Zealand, France, China, Germany, Japan, Jordan, the Netherlands, Hong Kong and Singapore operate in Australia. Foreign banks can apply for an Australian banking authority either as subsidiaries or as branches.

Extractions: Melbourne Good morning ladies and gentleman, and thank you for inviting me to speak at the finalists' breakfast for this year's Australian Banking and Finance Awards. changing financial services industry. And it is the theme of financial sector change Because at the end of the day it is consumers who count. It is consumers who choose your products, it is consumer who make and break your industry and, and as such, it is consumers who, if not embracing financial change, then must at least understand what is happening and, what is in it for them. For my Government, a commitment to consumers is absolutely crucial. It is a commitment to giving consumers more choice, better products and services and lower prices. In other words, it is a commitment to consumer empowerment and a commitment to consumer sovereignty. And for the consumers of banking and finance products there has been plenty of recent change with which to grapple.

Extractions: Merrill Lynch Sees Robust Growth for Australian Economy 12 October 1999 Australian Investment, Corporate Profits to benefit from growing economy, Merill says. NEW YORK, Oct. 12 - In comments delivered today, Merrill Lynch said Australia has entered an unprecedented period of economic growth, with one of the highest gross-domestic-product (GDP) growth rates in the world. "January 2000 will not only usher in the new millennium, but also Australias longest postwar economic expansion," Peter Osborne, director and senior economist with Merrill Lynch Australia, told conference attendees. "Nor is there any end in sight: inflation is low and stable, and interest rates are low in both nominal and real terms. Australias fiscal position is strong and the banking system is extremely healthy." Interest Rates Merrill Lynch believes the monetary policy bias is shifting quickly in Australia. The firm has recently changed its expected increase in official interest rates from 50 basis points (bp) to 75bp over the next nine months. Among the factors that may prompt tighter domestic monetary settings are: improving momentum in world growth and bias towards tighter global monetary conditions, sustained strong domestic growth, rising inflation expectations, buoyancy in credit growth and asset prices, and the move to easier fiscal policy next year when monetary conditions are already accommodative.
