Repeats Story Initially Transmitted at 01:37 GMT Nov 30/20:37 EST Nov 29
SYDNEY (MNI) - Private-sector credit data for October published by the
Reserve Bank of Australia on Tuesday:
October September October September
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Change m/m % Change m/m % Change y/y % Change y/y
Total Credit +0.4 +0.3 +5.3 +5.4
Housing +0.5 +0.5 +6.5 +6.6
-Owner-occupier Housing +0.5 +0.5 +6.3 +6.3
-Investor Housing +0.4 +0.4 +6.9 +7.1
Business +0.3 +0.1 +4.0 +4.3
Other Personal 0.0 0.0 -0.9 -0.9
FACTORS: Total private-sector credit growth accelerated slightly in October
on a month-over-month basis, due mainly to faster business loan growth. But in
y/y terms it slowed slightly to +5.3% from +5.4% in each of the prior four
months. Housing credit growth slowed slightly in y/y terms but this masked a
significant slowing in investor mortgage growth, which fell below 7.0% for the
first time since February. Personal credit growth remained a drag, staying flat
m/m in October, with y/y growth in decline for the 22nd month in a row.
TAKEAWAY: The data shows private sector credit growth continues to slow
from the 6%-plus y/y pace posted in 2016. The continued slowing in investor
housing credit growth is a welcome development but given the overall slowing in
housing market activity, financial regulators may be worried about pushing down
too hard on investor lending. Overall, the data should comfort the Reserve Bank
slightly because of slowing in housing debt but their concern will not be
eliminated because housing debt growth continues to be faster that the slow
growth in household income.
