SEPTEMBER KEY FIGURES FINANCING RESOURCES AND INVESTMENT, ORIGINAL, CURRENT PRICES
In the September quarter 2017, non-financial corporations and households invested $52.9b and $40.5b respectively. Households funded these investments mainly through gross saving ($52.9b) while non-financial corporations funded investment through a mix of gross saving ($25.7b) and net borrowing ($4.7b). The general government sector invested $13.4b and funded it through net borrowing ($15.7b) and gross saving ($2.4b). Graph 1. Total capital formation, current prices In original terms national investment decreased $1.3b in the September quarter 2017 to $109.6b from June quarter 2017. Private non-financial corporations investment was $47.6b in September quarter 2017 having fallen from its peak in June quarter 2013 ($63.5b). Household investment was $40.5b in September quarter 2017, compared to $25.4b recorded in March quarter 2013. Graph 2. Net financial investment (Net lending (+) / net borrowing (-)) During September quarter 2017, national net borrowing was $14.2b with financial corporations borrowing of $37.0b, general government borrowing $15.7b and non-financial corporations borrowing $4.7b. In contrast, households lent $43.2b to other sectors. Net borrowing of $37.0b by financial corporations was a result of disposal of financial assets $19.0b and incurring $17.9b in liabilities. The disposal of financial assets by financial corporations was driven by settlement in derivatives assets ($25.2b), disposal of bonds ($15.1b) and one name paper ($11.8b), which was partly offset by the acquisition of equities $33.2b. Financial corporations net incurrence of liabilities was driven by an increase of net equity in reserves $27.5b and the issuance of debt securities $21.7b, which was partly offset by settlement in derivatives liabilities ($31.1b). Net borrowing of $4.7b by non-financial corporations was a result of incurring $34.3b in liabilities and acquisition of financial assets $29.6b. Financial assets acquired were loans and placements ($6.5b), deposits ($5.8b) and equities ($4.9b). Non-financial corporations incurred liabilities through the issuance of equity ($30.7b).
