SUMMARY COMMENTARY KEY FIGURES
Assets of Securitisers At the end of the March quarter 2008, total assets of Australian securitisers were $263.9b, up $3.7b (1.4%) on the December quarter 2007 total. A slight increase following reported decreases in September and December 2007 quarters. Mortgage assets, which accounted for 76.7% of total assets, were $202.3b at 31 March 2008, an increase of $2.8b (1.4%) during the quarter. During the March quarter 2008, residential mortgages increased by $2.8b (1.5%), while long term asset backed securities increased $1.2b (5.8%). Liabilities of Securitisers The increase of $3.7b in total liabilities during the March quarter 2008, was due to an increase in long term asset backed securities issued in Australia (up 11.8b, 9.9%) and loans and placements (up $4.0b, 53.5%), while asset backed securities issued overseas decreased (down $9.0b, 11.4%). The fallout of events in global financial markets have resulted in movements from offshore to domestic markets. Long term asset backed securities issued domestically recorded a record high while short term asset backed securities issued domestically remained at a relative high level. Asset backed securities issued overseas fell to 26.4% of total liabilities in the March quarter 2008, down 3.8 percentage points on the December quarter 2007. Asset backed securities issued domestically increased to 65.6% of total liabilities, up 2.6 percentage points on the December quarter 2007.
