Join us for an engaging Q&A session with Mike Vacy-Lyle, Group Executive, Business Banking, Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

Mike will share perspectives on what matters most for Australian businesses in 2026 and the key factors shaping the business environment today. He will discuss the impact of regulation – including payday super reforms, broader payments reforms and the cumulative burden of regulatory change on businesses – alongside the effects of interest rates, inflation and the rising cost of doing business. The session will also explore innovation and productivity, including the role of AI in supporting small businesses, and the challenges and opportunities facing businesses as they start, grow and scale.

The session will run as a moderated Q&A, followed by audience engagement. We hope you can join us for this informative and practical discussion.
