Your answers must be entirely in words with no balance sheet, no diagram and no equations. The answer must reflect the content of the course and cannot use an outside source. Using copy/paste is strictly forbidden. a) APRA decreases the countercyclical capital buffer below 1% with immediate effect when it worries that banks may be in trouble in a distant future.
