In the latest episode of our “European Securitisation Insights” podcast, Mudasar Chaudhry, who leads our European Structured Finance Research team, was joined by Kevin Stephenson, Managing Director, Head of APAC Credit Ratings, to discuss Australia’s securitisation market.
Australia's securitisation market is heading into 2026 with real momentum, supported by a AAA-rated sovereign, resilient borrowers, and a well-regulated financial system, even as global macro and geopolitical risks continue to dominate headlines. In this episode, our analysts unpack why issuance is on track to push toward AUD 100 billion next year and what a cautious Reserve Bank of Australia easing cycle and still-healthy labour market mean for credit performance. Our experts analyse how housing shortages, data-centre build-out, and new asset classes like solar asset-backed security and equity-release residential mortgage-backed securities are reshaping deal flow.
The discussion also explores whether global headwinds--from U.S.-China tensions and tariffs to Al-driven data-centre risk and private credit growth--pose a genuine threat to Australian structured finance or whether the country's diversification, modest public debt, and investor demand from super funds and offshore buyers will keep spreads supported and volumes robust.
