The RBA released November 2010 financial aggregates last week.
Initial observations show that Business lending is stagnant and that business growth in bank deposits - indicating saving rather than increasing borrowing - accelerated to 10.6% over 12 months for non-financial firms, and 24% for financial firms.
Households home finance increased by 10% over the year (non-seasonally adjusted), with credit card growth lifting 7.5%, showing that the household sector is carrying the growth in bank balance sheets.
Also showing that there is life in spending are GST collections increasing by around 15% for the year to November.
Growth in Investment securities purchased by banks was $77 Billion (+66%), possibly reflecting accelerating Government Debt issuance. Federal Government outstanding debt closed the year at $174.8 Billion, an increase of $59 Billion for the year. The Government deficit adds income to the economy, so any politically induced cutbacks in spending will be felt by the household sector.
From the RBA website:
