2324 GMT - Australia's mortgage growth is steady in February, say Morgan Stanley analysts in a note. New data for February shows system housing loans grew at an annualized rate of around 4.5% in February versus around 4.5% in January and December. For the major banks, ANZ's growth was softer in February at around 5% compared with 6.9% in January. CBA, NAB and Westpac were broadly stable at 3%. Regional lenders Bendigo and Adelaide Bank and Bank of Queensland had a stronger month, notes MS. "Despite these moves, the majors and regionals are tracking in line with our housing loan forecasts," says the investment bank. (alice.uribe@wsj.com)
