Assets of Securitisers

As at 30 September 2013, total assets of Australian securitisers were $127.0b, down $0.3b (0.2%) on 30 June 2013.

During the September quarter 2013, the fall in total assets was due to decreases in residential mortgage loans (down $0.7b, 0.7%), other loans (down $0.4b, 3.2%) and cash and deposits (down $0.4b, 9.7%). These were partially offset by increases in non-residential mortgage loans (up $0.9b, 72.7%) and other assets (up $0.6b, 81.5%).

Mortgage assets, which accounted for 83.8% of total assets, were $106.3b as at 30 September 2013, an increase of $0.2b (0.2%) during the quarter.

Liabilities of Securitisers

As at 30 September 2013, total liabilities of Australian securitisers were $127.0b, down $0.3b (0.2%) on 30 June 2013. The fall in total liabilities was due to decreases in asset backed securities issued overseas (down $1.0b, 6.8%), loans and placements (down $1.0b, 7.2%) and short-term asset backed securities issued in Australia (down $0.5b, 8.4%). These were partially offset by an increase in long-term asset backed securities issued in Australia (up $3.2b, 3.6%).

As at 30 September 2013, asset backed securities issued overseas as a proportion of total liabilities decreased to 11.2%, down 0.8 percentage points on the June quarter 2013 percentage of 12.0%, while asset backed securities issued domestically as a proportion of total liabilities rose to 77.3%, up 2.3 percentage points on the June quarter 2013 percentage of 75.0%.
