Commentary

  • RWA up $18.0bn over 3Q22
  • IRRBB RWA up $15.8bn (37bps impact on capital) mainly from a higher regulatory embedded loss from increased market interest rates. An embedded loss occurs as Westpac's equity is invested over a three year investment horizon compared to the regulatory investment term of one year
  • Credit RWA increased $2.6bn (6bps impact on capital) mainly from higher exposures across residential mortgages, specialised lending and corporates
