This episode of the Daily Financial Services News Wrap, with Paige Estritori, discusses major headlines in the finance industry in Australia. Firstly, the Australian Finance Industry Association (AFIA) has launched a revolutionary Finance Industry Code of Practice to increase integrity, transparency, and fairness. It emphasizes clearer lending communication, especially for individuals with limited credit history and small businesses. Australia's housing market is in a 'super cycle', providing opportunities for mortgage brokers due to an undersupply of housing and demographic changes. The Queensland Government and the Boating Industry Association (BIA) aim to boost employment in the marine sector, addressing critical skills shortages. Finally, BIA is teaming up with the Australian Fishing Trade Association to facilitate growth in the boating and fishing industries, focusing on safety, sustainability, and responsible practices.
