Roger Montgomery

4 key issues for bank shares in 2017
Stuart Jackson
January 18, 2017
The outlook for Australia’s banks in 2017 is now tougher given the rerating of the stocks the last quarter of 2016. The expectations built into share prices have clearly lifted in 2017. The big change we expect is a slowing of loan book growth. If interest rates have bottomed, affordability of debt will suffer. Market expectations imply a continuation of the growth rates we’ve seen over the past decade or two, but if the cost of debt stops falling this could act as a drag on loan book growth and the broader economy. Funding costs continue to rise, pressuring net interest margins. Slowing loan book growth is also likely to increase competitive pressure as banks look to gain market share as an offset.
