This will probably affect Australian lenders, too.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;.It said the final shape of these rules would not be known until late this year, and it would be &#8220;prudent&#8221; for banks to plan for &#8220;the likelihood of strengthened capital requirements in some areas&#8221;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While increased capital requirements may reduce bank profitability and slow lending growth in the medium-term, an increased capital buffer is critical for long-term sustainability of the industry and the broader economy.
