Submission to the Financial System Inquiry

17 April 2014

The Financial System Inquiry provides a useful opportunity to ensure that the financial system is well placed to support future economic growth.

The BCA believes that the relative strength of Australia's capital markets should be considered a national asset and something we should look to develop and foster.

This will best be achieved by ensuring that the financial system is:

  • internationally competitive
  • able to fund investment that we will need in the future to underpin economic growth
  • effectively regulated, without stifling efficency and innovation.

This submission to the Financial System Inquiry includes the chapter on a strong, stable and competitive financial system from the BCA's Action Plan for Enduring Prosperity released in July 2013.
