The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) has remade the Reporting Standard ARS 117.1 Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB) (ARS 117.1), which was due to expire on 1 October 2019.

The new reporting standard has updated references to APS 117 Capital Adequacy: Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (Advanced ADIs) and standard wording. The reporting requirements and the group of authorised deposit-taking institutions (ADIs) that are required to report will remain unchanged.

APRA will maintain the existing reporting requirements while it consults on revisions to the framework for IRRBB.

The updated ARS 117.1 will apply from 1 October 2019. Copies of the reporting standard are available on the APRA website at Prudential and Reporting Standards for Authorised deposit-taking institutions.
