Deal and ratings review, week ending August 10 2012

Following a flurry of securitisation activity at the back end of the previous week, the Australian new issuance market has quietened with just three new deals coming to market – two of them Kangaroos. New Zealand saw one new transaction complete, although there has also been retail deal activity on both sides of the Tasman as APA Group and TrustPower both moved towards issuance.
