- The Committee will undertake a stock take of the Australian retail banking and non-banking
industries, focussing on:
- Recent developments in relation to products, providers and distribution channels;
- the current state of the retail banking and non-banking industries;
- the likely drivers of future change and innovation in the retail banking and non-banking sectors including the continuing impact of technological developments; and
