Assets of Securitisers

As at 30 June 2010, total assets of Australian securitisers were $146.7b, down $7.5b (4.9%) on 31 March 2010. This is the twelfth consecutive quarterly fall for the assets of Australian securitisers.

Mortgage assets, which accounted for 79.3% of total assets, were $116.3b at 30 June 2010, a decrease of $6.1b (5.0%) during the quarter.

During the June quarter 2010, the decrease in total assets was due primarily to falls in residential mortgages (down $5.2b, 4.4%), non-residential mortgages (down $0.9b, 18.4%), other loans (down $0.6b, 5.1%) and other assets (down $0.6b, 14.5%).

Liabilities of Securitisers

The $7.5b decrease in total liabilities during the June quarter 2010 was primarily due to falls in long term asset backed securities issued in Australia (down $4.3b, 5.0%) and asset backed securities issued overseas (down $2.6b, 6.8%).

Asset backed securities issued overseas as a proportion of total liabilities decreased to 24.4% in the June quarter 2010, down 0.5 percentage points on the March quarter 2010.

Asset backed securities issued domestically as a proportion of total liabilities increased to 68.4% in the June quarter 2010, up 0.3 percentage points on the March quarter 2010.
