Australian Treasurer Jim Chalmers unveiled a new regulatory framework that will make it easier for banks and pension funds to assess the compliance requirements of upcoming regulatory changes, part of a slew of measures to address productivity.

Similar to the British system, a financial sector “grid” will help financial services businesses engage with the government and regulators more effectively and allow regulators to avoid duplication, Chalmers said in a statement Monday.
