The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) has published its latest Corporate Plan aimed at provide Australians with a safe and stable financial system.
The plan outlines APRA’s strategic objectives over the next four years as well as its specific policy, supervision and data initiatives planned for the banking, insurance and superannuation industries over the next 12 to 24 months.
The 2025-26 Corporate Plan has four strategic objectives: maintaining financial and operational resilience; responding to significant and emerging risks; getting the balance right; and improving APRA’s organisational effectiveness.
Among APRA’s top strategic priorities in the plan are:
- strengthening crisis preparedness
- strengthening all regulated entities’ resilience to operational risks
- focus on potential risks from geopolitical tensions, cyber-attacks, interconnections, an ageing population and climate change
- formalise a third tier into its proportionality framework for banks.
