The Productivity Commission The Productivity Commission, an independent Commonwealth agency, is the Government’s principal review and advisory body on microeconomic policy and regulation. It conducts public inquiries and research into a broad range of economic and social issues affecting the welfare of Australians. The Commission’s independence is underpinned by an Act of Parliament. Its processes and outputs are open to public scrutiny and are driven by concern for the wellbeing of the community as a whole. Information on the Productivity Commission, its publications and its current work program can be found on the World Wide Web at www.pc.gov.au or by contacting Media and Publications on (03) 9653 2244. Foreword This report is the first in a new three-year program of research by the Productivity Commission designed to provide comparable information on the financial performance of government trading enterprises (GTEs). It continues previous work by the Commission and an earlier series of broader ‘Red Book’ reports, under the auspices of the Steering Committee on National Performance Monitoring of Government Trading Enterprises, between 1991 and 1997. The Commission has given a priority to its ongoing research into the performance of economic infrastructure industries and the impact of microeconomic reforms. It complements other Commission work, including benchmarking studies and reviews of price and service quality. Our research reveals that in 2001-02, over half of the monitored GTEs earned a return on assets that is below the risk-free return from long-term Commonwealth bonds. An even greater number failed to earn a commercial rate of return. Further, profitability in some sectors continued to deteriorate in 2001-02. In the current three-year program, the Commission has commenced an examination of the external governance arrangements for GTEs. When the work is completed, it will provide a basis for reviewing whether governance arrangements can be improved and to explore the appropriateness of alternative arrangements. This first report provides contextual information on aspects of governance that affect GTE performance. Research for the study was undertaken in the Economic Infrastructure Branch under the guidance of Commissioner Michael Woods. State and Territory governments cooperated by furnishing data collected for the Australian Bureau of Statistics Government Finance Statistics collection, and by assisting the Commission with its chapters. The Commission is very grateful for this continuing support.

  • A History of Last-Resort Lending and Other Support for Troubled Financial Institutions in Australia
    A HISTORY OF LAST-RESORT LENDING AND OTHER SUPPORT FOR TROUBLED FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN AUSTRALIA Bryan Fitz-Gibbon and Marianne Gizycki Research Discussion Paper 2001-07 October 2001 System Stability Department Reserve Bank of Australia The authors would like to thank Chay Fisher, Keith Hall, Chris Kent, John Laker and David Merrett for helpful comments. Any remaining errors are our own. The views expressed are those of the authors and should not be attributed to the Reserve Bank of Australia. Abstract This paper surveys the history of last-resort lending and other support provided to financial institutions in Australia and compares the practical implementation of lender-of-last-resort policy with policy prescriptions derived from the theoretical literature. Last-resort support serves to counter the market failures that can see fundamentally sound financial institutions fail due to a lack of liquidity, and to protect the economy from the systemic costs of such failures. The provision of lender-of-last-resort support, however, creates moral hazard costs. During the nineteenth century, Australian colonial governments and banking industry groups provided support to troubled financial institutions in a variety of ways that reflected both the resources they could draw on and their ability to constrain moral hazard behaviour. Since 1900, Australia’s experience has been unusual by international standards: the central bank has rarely acted as a lender of last resort; and, despite this, virtually no Australian bank depositor has lost money. Direct loans were provided only twice: once as a last-resort loan and once to ease the exit of a failed bank.
