Macquarie Bank Limited (MBL) is an Authorised Deposit-taking Institution (ADI) regulated by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA).
MBL has the following accreditations for calculating Capital Adequacy:
These advanced approaches place a higher reliance on a bank’s internal capital measures and therefore require a more sophisticated level of risk management and risk measurement practices.
The Macquarie Bank Group ratios as at 31 March 2023 on a Harmonised Basel III basis1 are:
| Ratio | As at 31 March 2023 |
|---|---|
| Macquarie Bank Group Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio2 | 18.4% |
| Macquarie Bank Group Tier 1 capital ratio | 20.6% |
APRA is requiring Australian banks to follow an accelerated Basel III implementation compared to the Basel Committee’s gradual phase-in of Basel III, with a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 4.5% required from January 2013 and immediate phase in of additional CET1 deductions. In addition, APRA has added conservative overlays (‘super equivalence’) to the Basel Committee’s Basel III capital requirements.
Macquarie Bank Group position at 31 March 2023 meets the APRA latest Basel III requirements, i.e. minimum ratios plus capital conservation buffer.

MGL is an ASX-listed diversified financial services holding company with its head office in Sydney, Australia. It is regulated by APRA as the Non-Operating Holding Company (NOHC) of a licensed bank.
MGL provides funding predominately to the Non-Bank Group.
As an Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) authorised and regulated NonOperating Holding Company, MGL is required to hold adequate regulatory capital to cover the risks for Macquarie, including the Non-Bank Group. MGL and APRA have agreed a capital adequacy framework for Macquarie, based on APRA’s capital standards for Authorised Deposit-taking Institution (ADI) and Macquarie’s Board-approved Economic Capital Adequacy Model (ECAM).
Macquarie’s capital adequacy framework requires it to maintain minimum regulatory capital requirements calculated as the sum of:
As at 31 March 2023, Macquarie had regulatory capital of $A39.1 billion, $A18.6 billion1,2 in excess of minimum regulatory capital requirement on a Harmonised Basel III basis.3
