"Unquestionably strong" not just a capital issue, APRA's Byres says

Wayne Byres, chairman of the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), used a November 5 speech to highlight the process of ensuring Australian banks are "unquestionably strong" as a key focus for 2016. However, Byres also gave a nod to recent capital-raising efforts when acknowledging local banks' solid starting place for next year's dialogue.
