In this episode, Paige Estritori provides a roundup of recent developments in Australia's financial sector. Key issues include rising insurance premiums affecting small to medium-sized enterprises, with reform calls led by the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Insurance Council of Australia. APRA's recent policy to limit high debt-to-income loans to control housing prices is also discussed. Estritori also highlights an 'incoming retiree wave' expected over the next decade, which challenges super funds to shift their focus from wealth accumulation to effective retirement income delivery.
