Stephen Grootes speaks to Francois Prinsloo, PwC Africa’s Banking and Capital Markets Leader, about the strong performance of South Africa’s major banks in 2025, despite a challenging global and domestic backdrop. The sector delivered combined headline earnings of R152.5 billion with returns on equity reaching around 20%, supported by solid non-interest revenue growth, improved credit quality, and disciplined cost control. The results reflect a banking industry that continues to benefit from digital growth, resilient balance sheets, and diversification across Africa, even as geopolitical tensions, shifting interest rate expectations, and rising competition from fintechs reshape the operating environment.

Banks enter 2026 with a positively sloped yield curve, steady deposit growth, and a favorable regulatory environment. The outlook for the economy and Fed policy is highly uncertain, however, posing risks to loan demand, net interest margins, and the appetite for adding duration to balance sheets. In this episode, we talk with FHN Financial's Jon Cantrell and S.J. Guzzo about bank deposit and loan growth in 2026, the ways banks can position for different shapes of the yield curve, and how regulatory changes will impact banks' decisions this year.

The Finance Minister's being urged to take urgent and decisive action on our banking sector. Ministers have accepted most of the recommendations of a select committee inquiry into the industry, including directing the Reserve Bank to focus on more competition. But banking expert Andrew Body says Nicola Willis needs to go further. He told Mike Hosking the Minister should be seeking law changes and a harmonisation of Australian and New Zealand banking rules. Body says the Minister should be ringing Treasury Secretary Ian Rennie, asking for a proposal for legislative change by 8am Monday. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Banks are hanging tough despite tough economic conditions. A KPMG report has found the sector's net profit for 2024 increased just 0.25 percent from the previous year.

A lack of competition in the banking sector is being blamed on poor regulation. Financial experts believe a fundamental change to the Reserve Bank and the Council of Financial Regulations is required. Andrew Body, one of the experts, told Mike Hosking the regulators have created a “moat” around the large banks in New Zealand. He says the capital requirements, the Reserve Bank's outsourcing requirements and branch policy, as well as the conduct and disclosure regulation and costs of operating all favour the big banks. Body told Hosking that RBNZ Governor Adrian Orr has completely “overcooked” the regulation. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Banks have been warned this week that "competition is king" as the government moves to improve the sector.

During the last two years, aggressive monetary policy tightening compressed banks' net interest margins, placed tremendous strain on banks' balance sheets, and demonstrated the vulnerabilities from exposure to CRE. The banking sector is hoping that additional Fed easing and less restrictive federal regulations next year will create more favorable conditions for profitability, M&A, and operational flexibility. In this episode, we talk with Jeff Davis, Managing Director of Mercer Capital's Financial Institutions Group, about the state of banking after years of tight monetary policy, regulatory changes banks can expect starting next year, and the best strategies for banks given the current macro backdrop.

A banking expert from Massey's Business School doesn't think the government's changes to the sector will help increase competition. Massey University's acting head of the accounting school Dr Claire Matthews spoke to Corin Dann.

The government is promising to inject more capital into Kiwibank to increase competition in the sector. Finance Minister Nicola Willis spoke to Corin Dann.

An investment banker says the most sensible thing for Kiwibank to do is join the banking oligopoly. A Commerce Commission report on banking found the sector isn't competitive enough, as it's being dominated by the big four Australian players. The Government's announced its intentions to find investors to deliver Kiwibank up to $500 million dollars to drive competition. Financial markets expert Andrew Body told Heather du Plessis-Allan he doesn't think it'll become a disruptor. He says that Kiwibank has been around for 23-odd years, and hasn't been a maverick in that time. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government's beefing up Kiwibank - at the request of the Commerce Commission. Its report on banking has found the sector isn't competitive enough, and offered up 14 recommendations. Simplicity co-founder Sam Stubbs says the banks would be foolish to ignore Government warnings. He says the Prime Minister's telling the banks - the game is up. "Remember, the only person that can seriously do damage to the big banks in New Zealand is the Government, because they've got regulation powers."

Plus, Can the banks rally under any administration or is one candidate better for the sector? And, the former National Security Advisor breaks America's geopolitical future under each candidate. 

The boss of Westpac's New Zealand arm insists our banking market is competitive. Westpac is reporting a 10% increase in net profit in New Zealand while being hit by "intense market competition" in Australia. It comes as the bank bosses are being hauled before a banking inquiry at Parliament. Catherine McGrath told Mike Hosking the bank is positioned to support Kiwis as the economy starts to grow. She says as the smallest of the big four banks, Westpac believes any way to make competition easy is a good thing. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Prime Minister believes a major Commonwealth diplomatic summit does have a future, with certain priorities. Christopher Luxon joined his Commonwealth counterparts for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, held this year in Samoa. King Charles and Queen Camilla also attended. Christopher Luxon told Mike Hosking it was a good opportunity to meet leaders from the Caribbean and Africa who he doesn't see as often and build some relationships with them. He says it has to be focused back on development and democracy, building the capacity of public services in developing states, and getting rid of corruption. When it comes to Kiwibank, the Prime Minister says it needs to be fired up as the maverick in the banking sector. Treasury's advised ministers of three options to boost Kiwibank's capital to better compete with the Australian-owned banks. They include borrowing money for Crown investment, third party investment, or an Initial Public Offering on the share market. It comes after the Commerce Commission market study on personal banking. Luxon told Hosking he hasn't seen the advice, so doesn't yet have a view on the best option. He says one of the options is the stock exchange, and they could also seek Super Funds or other funds to invest. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Treasury's advised the Government of three options to boost Kiwibank's capital to better compete with the Australian-owned banks. They include borrowing money for Crown investment, third party investment, or an Initial Public Offering on the share market. It comes in response to the Commerce Commission market study on personal banking. Massey University Business School associate professor Claire Matthews told Mike Hosking if Kiwibank is bigger, it can operate at a similar level to the other big banks. But, she says, whether it actually makes a real difference in how the sector operates won't be known unless it happens. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Competition in New Zealand's banking sector more closeley resembles a "cosy pillow fight".That's the view of Finance Minister Nicola Willis, who's calling for a shake up of the sector to increase competition and get better deals for New Zealanders. Her comments follow the Commerce Commission's final report on personal banking that found the sector is dominated by the four big Australian banks, while the Reserve Bank's rules make it difficult for smaller banks and new entrants to challenge. It calls for making more money for available to Kiwibank, improved rules to help smaller banks grow and introducing open banking, Jemima Huston reports.

In this riveting episode of Capitalist Investor, "Bank-a-Balooza: Earning Season Starts," hosts Tony and Luke delve deep into the financial sector's kickoff to earnings season. They discuss the mixed reviews and performance outcomes from major players like JP Morgan and Bank of America, and Luke shares insights on the effects of acquisitions on bank earnings. Tony brings attention to the condition of credit quality and the risks posed to regional banks with exposure to commercial real estate in the evolving work landscape. Plus, they're not shy about addressing the elephant in the room – executive stock sales, particularly by JP Morgan's Jamie Dimon, and what this might indicate. The duo also unpacks the potential regulatory changes on the horizon and how consumer behavior and job market fluctuations could impact financial institutions. Tune in to catch all their sharp analysis of the biggest stories affecting banks and your bottom line. For any questions or comments about the show, reach out at info@connect.com.1. The Kickoff of Earnings Season and Its Market ImplicationsEarnings season is a key period for investors as it provides insights into corporate performance and sector health. Host Tony expresses his enthusiasm for this time, understanding it acts as a catalyst for market movement. With the banking sector often leading the charge, how they report can set the tone for market expectations and investor sentiment.2. The Mixed Bag from Big Banks' Earnings ReportsThe episode dives into the recent earnings from major banks like JP Morgan and Bank of America. Luke notes they've had mixed reviews, with particular growth concerns in areas like investment banking. However, asset management showed strength in many reports. Despite some stocks selling off due to investor dissatisfaction, there remains an acknowledgment that credit quality has been generally robust, an optimism captured by PNC's anticipation of a 'soft landing'.3. The Banking Sector's M&A ActivityIn recent developments, First Republic's acquisition by JPMorgan was discussed as having an impact on earnings. The hosts highlight the ease with which large banks can acquire smaller, struggling entities like New York Community Bank, reinforcing consolidation trends in the industry. There's an underlying narrative that the "big are getting bigger," with more depositors trending towards these massive, more secure banks.4. The Stakes in Commercial Real Estate and Regional BankingTony discusses the concerns around commercial real estate within the banking sector, identifying it as a weak point, especially for regional banks that disproportionately bear such exposures. The change in office culture post-pandemic, with a shift towards remote work, poses serious questions about the future use and value of these properties.5. Executive Stock Moves and Economic OutlookAn intriguing point raised by Luke relates to the stock selling actions of Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan. Dimon's sale of a substantial chunk of his own stock raises eyebrows, with speculation surrounding the reasoning—whether for personal financial restructuring, such as tax considerations, or a potential lack of confidence in the near-term economic landscape. While the hosts admit uncertainty about the exact motivation, they conclude it is likely a mix of personal strategy and broader economic hedging.

The US financial system has been going through a period of uncertainty, with various factors contributing to this state of affairs. One major issue that has been in the news recently is the occurrence of bank runs and mid-size bank insolvencies. These events have caused concerns about the stability of the banking sector and the broader financial system.Another factor that has contributed to the current uncertainty is the massive fluctuation of cryptocurrencies. The prices of popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have seen significant fluctuations, with prices soaring to record highs at times and plummeting to new lows at others. This volatility has raised questions about the role of cryptocurrencies in the financial system and their potential impact on traditional banking and finance.In addition to these domestic issues, there is also growing concern about China's increasing influence as an international deal broker. As China's economy continues to grow and expand, it is seeking to play a greater role in global finance and trade. This has led to some anxiety about the future of US financial dominance and the potential for China to become a major player in the international financial system.To shed light on these issues, James and his guest, Cal Fussman, are joined by resident financial expert Omid Malekan. Together, they discuss the root causes of the current uncertainty, the issues that are worth worrying over, and what the future may hold for the American financial system. By examining these issues in depth, they hope to provide insights into the challenges and opportunities facing the US financial system in the years ahead.------------Read Omid's book: Re-Architecting Trust: The Curse of History and the Crypto Cure for Money, Markets, and Platforms------------What do YOU think of the show?
