APRA Monthly Banking Statistics - NAB reclassification

 

National Australia Bank has confirmed that the APRA Monthly Banking Statistics for June 2006, to be released today, contain a reclassification of approximately $3.0bn in NAB’s deposits.

 

Funds collected by National Custodian Services (NCS) belonging mainly to Superannuation Funds, Fund Managers and Insurance Corporations were previously classified under the ‘Non-Financial Corporations’ sector. Following system enhancements at NCS, the majority of these deposits will now be classified in the ‘Financial Corporations’ category to align NAB’s reporting with industry practice and APRA reporting definitions.

 

As a result, APRA’s latest Monthly Banking Statistics will show NAB as having negative growth in Non-Financial Corporations deposits of -2.5% in June 2006 and a growth in Financial Corporations deposits of 49.0%.

 

After adjustments are made to the May figures for the reclassification, Non-Financial Corporations deposit growth for June would be 3.5% and Financial Corporations deposit growth for June would be 11.8%.

 

This change has no impact on the volume of deposits held by the bank.

 

NAB has informed APRA of the reclassification and is working with APRA to restate deposit balances for previous months.

 

This reclassification relates to APRA reporting only, and there will not be an impact on NAB’s other external disclosures.
