Mortgage data – important! Mortgages are THE core product of retail banks ANZ’s mortgage business is very healthy 60% of all Australian lending is mortgages LVR: Loan to Value Ratio ie the amount of mortgage outstanding / value of the property secured under the mortgage Average mortgage size AUD 376,000 18
Mortgage risk - low 45% of ANZ’s mortgage portfolio is secured by property at LVR < 60% Some mortgage LVRs 95%+ which is a bit risky usually requires a mortgage insurance policy 19
Mortgage losses very low For Australian mortgages ANZ losses (ie provisions that have turned into actual losses) 0.01% If mortgage NIM is 2% then losing 0.01% is very acceptable Losses are low because mortgages are secured by property at LVR of 60%-90% mainly If borrower defaults bank can sell the property and usually recover all loan payments due ie recovery of 100% 20
Why low mortgage losses? 21
