PCS responds to the Joint-Committee's Consultation on Sustainable Disclosure for STS

PCS has responded to the Joint-Committee of the European Supervisory Authorities on its consultation regarding the optional disclosure relating to sustainability of the assets securitised through an STS transaction. Our response can be read here. Acknowledging the very narrow mandate that had been given the Joint-Committee and the challenges this posed, PCS nevertheless believes that this was the wrong mandate, at the wrong time for far too narrow a sub-set of capital market instruments. Through no fault of the committee, this feels like another siloed regulatory endeavour that risks again punishing unnecessarily securitisation and tilting yet further an already unlevel […]

Europe to complete the unfinished STS reforms if securitisation is to fulfil its potential

PCS was invited by EUROFI to contribute a substantial article for their regulatory update paper. EUROFI, a platform for exchanges between the financial services industry and the public authorities, has long provided a forum in which the future of European securitisation has been debated and this paper was written to accompany the EUROFI web event that replaces the traditional EUROFI conference that was to be held in Zagreb this April. In the article, which may be found here PCS examines why the STS reforms, for all their achievements, have not sparked a renewal of the European securitisation market, why such […]
