The last of the AOFM's $8bn investment into RMBS has been gobbled up by FirstMac, Resimac and Liberty.
The government's debt agency announced yesterday the three recipients will split $600 m leftover in the scheme, according to a report in the AFR.
The question now remains what will the AOFM do next?
Various proposals have been discussed, with some smaller lenders urging government to extend the program in order to regain some balance in the lending market.
Perceived flight to brand quality and lending power has helped the major banks dominate the lending market, writing as much as 90% of new loans.
