Bank Australia investments

We hold money in liquid investments to ensure we have access to a sufficient amount of money to meet our customers’ needs, as well as the requirements of our regulator, the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority.

These investments include bonds from other banks, Governments and other organisations.

Over $440m invested in green, social and sustainable bonds  

Bank Australia’s responsible banking policy sets out what we fund, including things like everyday customers, inclusive and community housing, clean energy transition as well as green, social and sustainable bonds where we can.

Highlights

40% of our green, social and sustainable bond investments allocated to infrastructure and public transport projects

36% of our green, social and sustainable bond investments are allocated to clean energy and water projects.

Bank Australia's policy

We work hard to ensure these investments are consistent with our values wherever we can, and we are an investor in green, social and sustainability bonds in Australia. Each year in our Impact Report, we disclose what share of our liquidity portfolio is in green, social and sustainability bonds as well as the types of projects these investments finance, like light rail and transport, wind and solar farms, and low carbon buildings.
