LF Economics: Australia’s Addiction to Debt

LF Economics is proud to present its report detailing the long-term trends in Australia's public, private and external debt markets. While mainstream commentary and attention is firmly focused on public debt, the nation has accumulated a dangerously high level of private debt, including a moderately high level of external debt.

Globally, Australia ranks near the top of indebted households. The exponential surge in mortgage debt issuance over the last two decades has generated the largest housing bubble in Australian economic history.

LF Economics' report demonstrates the dangers facing the economy from mismanagement of debt, which poses risks to the financial, insurance and real estate (FIRE) sector, including the economy at large. It builds upon the lessons imparted by the GFC, providing a guide to what may transpire in Australia.
