Imbalances in the housing market, banks' concentrated exposures to the dairy sector, and their high reliance on wholesale offshore funding are the key macro-financial vulnerabilities. The banking sector has significant exposure to real estate and agriculture, is relatively dependent on foreign funding, and is dominated by four Australian subsidiaries.

Despite these vulnerabilities, the banking system is resilient to severe shocks. Strengthening the macroprudential framework is important.
