A substantial benchmark bond maturity accounts for the bulk of the South Australian Government Financing Authority (SAFA)'s increased expected funding task of A$6.4 billion (US$6.2 billion) for the 2012/13 financial year. The total figure is A$2.7 billion higher than the equivalent for 2011/12, but the coming year includes a A$2.1 billion maturity in May 2013 while the current period contained no benchmark expiries.
