Westpac backs down from threat to exit New Zealand

After threatening to exit New Zealand in March because of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s tough capital requirements, Westpac Banking Corp said it would retain full ownership of its NZ operations to protect shareholder value.
Westpac told the ASX on Thursday morning a review had decided not to proceed with the demerger of its bank in New Zealand. Westpac shares fell 1.1 per cent in afternoon trade on a weaker day for bank shares.
“After a detailed review, we believe a demerger of the [Westpac New Zealand] business would not be in the best interests of shareholders,” Westpac chief executive Peter King said in a statement.

KINA Bank is set to provide lower cost of banking for customers in Fiji operating under a new name and separately governed. This was according to a statement released by the bank outlining its plans for the Pacific.
It was stated the proposed acquisition of Westpac’s Pacific businesses would promote a stronger, publicly listed regional bank enabling Kina to focus on greater customer service and lower the cost of banking for everyone in Fiji and PNG.
Kina Bank’s chief executive officer Greg Pawson said they would be able to drive innovation and introduce more choice.
