    NZ to increase banks' capital requirements

    The Reserve Bank of New Zealand released its final decisions to increase banks' capital requirements on Thursday. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand Governor Adrian Orr said the decisions are about making the banking system safer for all New Zealanders, and will ensure bank owners have a meaningful stake in their businesses. The changes will be implemented over seven years, giving plenty of time for banks to manage a smooth transition and minimize any adjustment costs. "Our decisions are not just about dollars and cents. More capital in the banking system better enables banks to weather economic volatility and maintain good, long-term, customer outcomes," Orr said.

    Mongolia mortgage loans benefit 95,000

    Mongolia has provided housing mortgages to 95,000 borrowers since 2013, a senior official of the Mongolian Mortgage Corp (MIC) said. The Mongolian government started implementing a mortgage loan program in 2013 to increase the afford-ability and accessibility of apartments for urban residents. "Providing housing mortgages at a rate of 8 percent is also part of the government's efforts to reduce air pollution in the country, especially in the capital city of Ulaanbaatar," Zorig Munkh-Orgil, first deputy CEO of the MIC, said at a workshop on air pollution and housing. "A total of 95,000 borrowers have benefited from the housing program. Over 90 percent of them are residents of Ulaanbaatar," she said.
