National investment
National investment increased by $21.4b to $179.9 b in the June quarter.
- General government investment increased by $7.4b to $33.0b, driven by an increase in gross fixed capital formation for both state and local general government and national general government.
- Non-financial corporations' investment increased by $9.7b to $86.6b, driven by an increase in gross fixed capital formation for both private and public non-financial corporations.
- Households' investment increased by $3.8b to $56.0b, driven by an increase in gross fixed capital formation and partly offset by a change in inventories.
Financial investment
Australia was a net borrower of $17.5b from rest of world (ROW). The main contributors were a:
- $28.0b acquisition by ROW of equity issued by Australia
- $20.5b placement of deposits by ROW
- Partly offset by $19.6b disposal by ROW of one name paper issued by Australia
Placements of deposits borrowed by ROW largely reflected intra-group funding arrangements between Australian subsidiaries and offshore related parties.
Households
Households' $17.6b net lending position was due to a $75.7b acquisition of financial assets, partly offset by a $58.1b incurrence of liabilities. The acquisition of assets was driven by:
- $42.4b net equity in superannuation
- $5.8b in deposits
While liabilities were driven by:
- $55.4b in loan borrowings
Increased contributions into pension funds reflected additional contributions made by households prior to the end of the financial year. Increased loan borrowings reflected a seasonal rise in lending for housing.
General government
General government’s $26.5b net borrowing position was due to a $20.2b disposal of financial assets and a $6.2b incurrence of liabilities. The disposal of assets was driven by a:
- $22.4b draw down of deposits
- Partly offset by a $5.3b acquisition of one name paper
Liabilities were driven by:
- $20.3b in other accounts payable
- Partly offset by $15.3b net maturity of bonds
The national general government remained in a net borrowing position for a fourth consecutive quarter. The draw down of deposits this quarter reflected net maturities of bonds issued by the national general government. State and territory governments continued to borrow funds from their respective central borrowing authorities to finance investment in health and transport infrastructure.
