This report analyses the current market yield on 10-year Treasury bonds. Treasury bonds are debt securities issued by the Australian government, which are considered to have no default risk. They pay interest semi-annually and return the face value of the bond at maturity. The yield is comparable to the interest rate on a newly issued 10-year bond, priced at face value. The yield on a bond can be calculated from the bond interest rate and the difference between the market price of the bond and the face value that is paid back at maturity. Data for this report is sourced from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and is presented as the average yield over each financial year.

Australian debt collection agencies have faced persistent challenges in the past few years, as the supply of debt ledgers remains weak, limiting revenue expansion. Banks have delayed selling charge-offs and ramped up internal collections, while government-backed hardship measures have shrunk the volume of debt portfolios available in the market. The resulting competition among agencies has driven up purchase prices and squeezed margins. Meanwhile, smaller and less profitable agencies have exited or been acquired by larger agencies like Credit Corp Group, which strengthened its market position by acquiring Collection House Limited in 2022, lifting industry-wide profitability. Regulatory pressure has intensified, with ASIC and the ACCC introducing reforms under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act and Debt Collection Guidelines (RG 96). From July 2021, debt collectors must hold an Australian credit licence and be members of the Australian Financial Complaints Authority, raising compliance costs. The decision by Services Australia to bring welfare debt recovery in-house in June 2023 has prompted agencies to diversify their markets. In response, many agencies are investing heavily in digitalisation, improving operational efficiency and implementing customer-centric approaches. These strategic shifts have accelerated market concentration and reshaped agencies' competitive landscape. Revenue is expected to fall at an annualised 8.8% to an estimated $1.0 billion over the five years through 2025-26. This trend includes an expected drop of 2.2% in 2025-26, as debt ledger supply remains subdued. Debt collection agencies' performance is set to keep recovering. Debt ledger supply is set to rebound over the next few years, offering some relief to debt collection agencies. Although personal lending is expected to rise and potentially feed more overdue accounts into the market, volumes are unlikely to return to pre-pandemic peaks due to tighter underwriting and risk controls. Larger agencies with established bank relationships, like Pioneer Credit's five-year agreement with CBA, are poised to benefit the most from expanded ledger availability. Smaller agencies will likely struggle to secure quality portfolios, leading to further consolidation. Heightened regulatory oversight, like ASIC’s 2025 focus on debt management practices, will intensify the need for robust governance, compliance frameworks and consumer-focused engagement. Digitalisation and advanced data analytics will be critical for agencies aiming to optimise collection processes, forecast repayment behaviour and drive operational efficiencies. Overall, revenue is forecast to rise at an annualised 0.3% to an estimated $1.1 billion over the five years through 2030-31.

As of July 18, 2025, the major economy with the highest yield on 10-year government bonds was Turkey, with a yield of ** percent. This is due to the risks investors take when investing in Turkey, notably due to high inflation rates potentially eradicating any profits made when using a foreign currency to investing in securities denominated in Turkish lira. Of the major developed economies, United Kingdom had one the highest yield on 10-year government bonds at this time with **** percent, while Switzerland had the lowest at **** percent. How does inflation influence the yields of government bonds? Inflation reduces purchasing power over time. Due to this, investors seek higher returns to offset the anticipated decrease in purchasing power resulting from rapid price rises. In countries with high inflation, government bond yields often incorporate investor expectations and risk premiums, resulting in comparatively higher rates offered by these bonds. Why are government bond rates significant? Government bond rates are an important indicator of financial markets, serving as a benchmark for borrowing costs, interest rates, and investor sentiment. They affect the cost of government borrowing, influence the price of various financial instruments, and serve as a reflection of expectations regarding inflation and economic growth. For instance, in financial analysis and investing, people often use the 10-year U.S. government bond rates as a proxy for the longer-term risk-free rate.
