Assets of Securitisers At the end of the December quarter 2008, total assets of Australian securitisers were $225.6b, down $3.5b (1.5%) on the September quarter 2008 total. This is the sixth consecutive fall for the assets of Australian securitisers. Mortgage assets, which accounted for 72.5% of total assets, were $163.6b at 30 December 2008, a decrease of $8.8b (5.1%) during the quarter. During the December quarter 2008, residential mortgages increased (up $8.3b, 5.1%). This was offset by an increase in other assets (up $4.8b, 58.0%), and holdings of long term asset backed securities (up $1.1b, 6.4%). Liabilities of Securitisers The decrease of $3.5b in total liabilities during the December quarter 2008 was due to decreases in short term asset backed securities issued in Australia (down $3.7b, 10.5%), long term asset backed securities issued in Australia (down $3.3b, 3.0%), loans and placements (down $1.1b, 14.1%). Offsetting increases occurred in other liabilities to resident (up $3.1b, 48.6%), and asset backed securities, issued offshore (up $1.7b, 2.5%). Asset backed securities issued overseas increased to 30.6% of total liabilities in the December quarter 2008, up 1.2 percentage points on the September quarter 2008. Asset backed securities issued domestically decreased to 62.0% of total liabilities, down 2.1 percentage points on the September quarter 2008.
