During the September quarter 2012, the fall in total assets was due primarily to falls in residential mortgage loans (down $1.0b, 1.0%), loans, other (down $0.7b, 5.0%) and non-residential mortgage loans (down $0.2b, 10.2%).

Mortgage assets, which accounted for 84.4% of total assets, were $105.3b as at 30 September 2012, a fall of $1.2b (1.1%) during the quarter.

Liabilities of Securitisers

As at 30 September 2012, total liabilities of Australian securitisers were $124.8b, down $2.0b (1.6%) on 30 June 2012.

These falls were partially offset by a rise in loans and placements (up $0.4b, 4.6%).
