Moodys Says Outlook For Australian Mortgage Backed Securities Stable

The collateral used to construct Australian residential and commercial mortgage backed securities has a stable outlook according to a credit ratings agency which made its assessment following Australian investment banking major Macquarie pricing a $750 million offer.

Global credit ratings agency Moody’s on Thursday said it would maintain its stable outlook for the performance of collateral used to construct Australian asset backed securities over the next 12 to 18 months.

The ratings agency also said that the surge in house prices would slow down, after data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics suggested that house prices had spiked a stunning 18.4 per cent for the year ending June.

“We expect that the up-to-now strong appreciation in housing prices will slow down a bit, but undersupply — as well as net migration — will continue to support prices,” said Moody’s senior credit officer Richard Lorenzo.

Mr. Lorenzo added that the trend would more than likely limit actions on rating for RMBS.The uncertainties plaguing commercial real estate have declined over the past year, Moody’s said.

The ratings agencies outlook report came as Macquarie Securitisation today priced a $750m RMBS offer.
