• Demand for credit was up $6.6b from the previous quarter, driven by increased demand by state and local general government (up $13.5b) and households (up $7.1b).This was offset by a decreased demand for credit by national general government (down $14.4b).

NON-FINANCIAL CORPORATIONS

• Private non-financial investment funds repaid a net $1.3b driven by redemptions in bonds of $0.6b during the June quarter 2012. Other private non-financial corporations raised a net $25.4b, from issuance of shares of $15.4b, loans of $10.9, and bonds of $3.2b.

GENERAL GOVERNMENT

CHANGES TO THIS ISSUE

Following ongoing quality assurance work a number of data quality issues have been identified with table 37 - National capital accounts by sector and subsector. This table will be unavailable until further notice. However, capital accounts by sector will continue to be published as part of table 22 - flow of funds matrix.


SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

During the June quarter 2012, the investment activity of an other private non financial corporation unit has been confidentialised to maintain the anonymity of the unit which has not yet given approval to publish their investment activity and in the case where they may be identifiable. As a consequence of suppressing estimates directly impacted, it has been necessary to consequentially suppress other series in the affected tables to preserve confidentiality. Statistics published in this issue reflect these changes.

This issue incorporates new estimates for households holding of unlisted shares and other equity in other private non financial corporations. The previous estimates have been revised back to June 2002.

The Central bank, banks, securitisers and bond market tables include estimates for internally securitised paper. Please refer to ABS treatment of internally securitised paper for the treatment of these securities.


REVISIONS IN THIS ISSUE

There have been revisions back to June 2002 to previously published aggregates due to quality assurance work undertaken through review of compilation of the published estimates and through data providers to the ABS Survey of Financial Information, ABS Survey of International Investment and APRA administrative data sets. As a result there are a number of series breaks between March quarter 2002 and June quarter 2002. These time-series have yet to be revised to June 1988, the beginning of the time-series.
