During the June quarter 2013, the rise in total assets was due to increases in other loans (up $0.9b, 7.1%), other assets (up $0.3b, 91.3%), cash and deposits (up $0.3b, 7.4%) and residential mortgage loans (up $0.2b, 0.2%).

Liabilities of Securitisers

As at 30 June 2013, total liabilities of Australian securitisers were $127.5b, up $1.8b (1.4%) on 31 March 2013.

These were partially offset by a decrease in short-term asset backed securities issued in Australia (down $0.4b, 6.1%).
