The Finance sector's operating environment was previously characterised by record-low interest rates. Nonetheless, high inflation prompted the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to hike the cash rate from May 2022 onwards. This shift allowed financial institutions to impose higher charges on loans, propelling their revenue. Banks managed to raise interest rates quicker than funding costs in the first half of 2022-23, boosting net interest margins. The introduction of the Term Funding Facility (TFF) also provided financial institutions with access to cost-effective funding, contributing to their profit margin in recent years.
Industry revenue has grown at a CAGR of 4.0 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $422.9bn in 2024.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
