MELBOURNE (Standard&Poor's) Aug. 22, 2008--Standard&Poor's Ratings Services today said that its ratings on Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. (ANZ; AA/Stable/A-1+) and ANZ's subsidiaries are unchanged following the bank's review, which highlighted some limitations in the risk management of its securities lending. Given ANZ's involvement in recent events surrounding the securities lending business, the bank had initiated this review. Several remedial actions on the risk management issues, including a change in senior executives and a strengthening of risk management processes and procedures, are viewed as supportive of the ratings.
