During the September quarter 2019 the rise in total assets was primarily due to an increase in residential mortgages, up $1.3b, (1.1%). This increase was partially offset by a decrease in other loans, down $0.1b, (0.6%).

At 30 September 2019, total liabilities of Australian securitisers were $147.0b, up $2.7b (1.9%) on 30 June 2019.
