Westpac is jacking up all of its home loan interest rates by 0.2 percentage points, a move it has blamed on rules forcing banks to hold larger loss-absorbing capital buffers.
The country's second biggest bank on Wednesday announced the change, which will increase headline owner-occupier rates to 5.68 per cent, and investor rates to 5.95 per cent.
The rate hike will take effect from the 20th of November, and it puts the spotlight on the home loan interest rates charged by the other banks, which tend to copy each other on mortgage rates.
Westpac said the changes were occurring because the bank was being forced to hold more capital, a buffer for absorbing losses.
These rules have been introduced in response to global trends towards tougher regulation of banks, and the Financial System Inquiry's recommendation the country's banks be made "unquestionably strong".

RBA昨天说了经济基本面强劲，要求澳人不要过于悲观。
潜台词，减息周期已经结束。

说经济好，只是找个冠冕堂皇的借口，目的是不减息，但不能减息的真实原因比较复杂，不能说也不愿说。
