APRA’s System Risk Outlook warns that financial system stability faces growing threats from a volatile global environment and rising AI-related risks. The report finds Australia’s financial system remains strong and stable, but says that resilience cannot be taken for granted. APRA is strengthening supervisory engagement on AI-related risks, and the 2027 System Stress Test will examine how AI-driven disruption could affect banks, superannuation funds and life insurers.

Why it matters

Banks, insurers and superannuation trustees face closer APRA supervision of AI-related risks, and APRA is formalising its data collection on the material service providers they rely on.
