At 31 March 2017, total liabilities of Australian securitisers were $121.6b, up $4.4b (3.8%) on 31 December 2016. The increase in total liabilities was due to an increase in long term asset backed securities issued in Australia (up $7.6b, 7.8%). This was partially offset by a decrease in short term asset backed debt securities issued in Australia (down $1.9b, 42.0%) and loans and placements (down $0.6b, 6.4%).
