The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) is considering a reduction in the minimum capital requirement for deposit takers and has initiated a consultation process. Announced on Monday, one of the central bank's primary policy suggestions is to decrease the minimum capital requirement from NZ$30 million to NZ$5 million (approximately US$2.93 million). According to a statement cited by Reuters, this move aims to lower entry barriers. The consultation document indicates that this regulatory adjustment is unlikely to lead to significant changes in the economy. The progressively increasing capital requirements, originally announced in 2019, are being phased in gradually with full implementation anticipated by 2028. "It is crucial to find the right balance — safeguarding depositors and the broader economy while fostering competition and economic efficiency," stated RBNZ Governor Christian Hawkesby.
