CBA $11b profit, mortgage warning; SME closures surge; heatwaves spur air-con clothing

Commonwealth Bank has delivered a record full-year profit of $10.98 billion, but Australia’s biggest bank is also seeing clear signs of a slowing economy. Mortgage applications have fallen, household pressures are building and CBA expects housing credit growth to weaken.

Sean Aylmer speaks with Commonwealth Bank CEO Matt Comyn about what the bank is seeing inside the Australian economy, the impact of changes to housing taxes, why slower home lending could cost CBA around $100 million in revenue, the outlook for interest rates and housing, and where the bank is investing in AI.
