The Reserve Bank of Australia has published its April 2026 financial aggregates, showing total credit rose 0.7% in the month and 8.0% over the year. The release also warns that publication of the financial aggregates and some RBA statistical tables may be delayed over the coming months because the Direct to APRA reporting system for financial institutions is being decommissioned. In April, housing credit increased 0.6% and personal credit 0.1%, while business credit to non-financial businesses rose 0.7%. On a year-ended basis, housing credit grew 7.5%, personal credit 4.3%, business credit 9.6%, and broad money 8.2% after a 0.8% monthly rise. Historical levels and growth rates were revised following data resubmissions by some financial intermediaries, re-estimation of seasonal factors, and the incorporation of securitisation data. The growth rates are seasonally adjusted and adjusted for series breaks, and the credit aggregates cover credit provided by financial institutions operating domestically, excluding cross-border and non-intermediated lending.
