In doing so, he highlights, for instance, the potential improvements to the payments system; the financing of greenfield infrastructure and high-risk innovation projects; and the arrangements around post-retirement savings products and the regulation around SMSFs. •  Dr Mulino notes that in some areas, such as the payments system, there is already work underway by agencies including the RBA.

Rodney Maddock and Peter Munckton’s paper, “The Future Demand and Supply of Finance”, considers the longer-term availability of funding for Australia’s economic growth, the composition of these funding flows, and the role of regulation in their determination.
