Primary Impact
Australia's A$200 billion private credit market and prominent alternative lenders like PAG and Ray White Capital, alongside prospective homebuyers and local governments in western Sydney.
Strategic Shift
The aggressive expansion of alternative credit into high-risk development lending—filling the void left by traditional banks—is facing a severe systemic stress test.
The Ripple Effect
