The market continued to stabilise in May, supported by renewed investor demand that enabled the execution of fourteen new issues. These included nine primary Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) transactions, totalling A$7.4 billion. The growth of the Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) market in Australia also remained strong, with five ABS transactions amounting to A$2.4 billion — approximately 25% of the month’s total issuance. This robust activity reflects the ongoing rebound in market sentiment following recent tariff announcements. All new issues were met with strong demand from both domestic and international investors, with interest spanning the entire capital structure.
