Stakeholders' letter to European policy makers: "Securitisation cannot play its vital role for the European economy without reform"
PCS has added its name to a securitisation market stakeholders' letter to European policy makers. In addition to PCS, the letter is co-signed by AFME representing wholesale markets, the European Banking Federation representing the banking sector, Leaseurope representing the leasing sector, Eurofinas representing consumer lenders, IACPM representing credit portfolio managers as well as the DSA, Europlace and TSI respectively representing market participants based in The Netherlands, France and Germany. The letter comes back to themes that those who follow PCS have often seen us write about. The importance of a safe but deep securitisation market for the health and growth […]

PCS responds to the EBA's consultation on the draft "homogeneity" RTS
PCS filed its response to the EBA's consultation on the draft "homogeneity" RTS. Broadly, PCS is very supportive of the EBA's overall approach. We are especially in agreement with the idea of keeping a single definition of "homogeneity" for all types of STS transactions, whether true sale or synthetic. We also agree with the need to clarify the definition of "large corporate". We do, however, depart from the EBA in the best way to do this and have concerns with the proposed solution being the only solution on offer. Our response also draws attention to the vital importance of the […]

PCS responds to EBA Consultation on Synthetic Express Spread
PCS filed its response to the European Banking Authority's consultation paper on synthetic excess spread. Although this might appear the most abstruse of technical issues, fit only for quants and CRR geeks, the truth is - as PCS sets out in the introduction to its response - that this highly technical matter will have substantially damaging effects on the European economy as a whole if not properly calibrated. Unfortunately, PCS feels that the current EBA proposals are indeed not only miscalibrated but would result in the virtual eradication of the use of synthtetic excess spread in Europe. This, we feel, […]

Commission's report on the securitisation regulation is out - but the real battle is yet to come
The European Commission released its report on the review of the Securitisation Regulation on Monday. This was mandated by the Securitisation Regulation itself as part of a normal review process often found in European legislation. There was little to cause surprise to anyone who had been listening to the clear messaging coming from Brussels. The headline was that the Regulation having come into force in 2019 the Commission felt it was too early to tell whether it was working and so no meaningful changes were being proposed. Suggestions of changes to the disclosure rules were welcome, the rejection of a […]

The AMF publishes its investigation of STS practices by French banks – it was not impressed
The French AMF, in its capacity as national competent authority under the Securitisation Regulation, did a spot check of five unnamed financial institutions issuing STS securitisations. The regulator looked at the institutions’ procedures around the issuance of STS securitisations generally, then examined in detail a number of transactions. Their conclusions are now published in the form of a report (in English) It would be fair to say that the regulator was deeply unimpressed by what it found in a number of cases. They expressed the view that, for several institutions (unnamed to spare blushes), the processes around the due diligences […]

EBA publishes consultation on synthetic excess spread
The European Banking Authority has just launched a consultation on the treatment of "synthetic excess spread" or "SES". The issue of the capital treatment of synthetic excess spread in the context of synthetic STS securitisation is a topic that is as arcane as it is important. We will not review here the arguments and possible approaches as this would take way more space that is appropriate for a news item. To summarise, though, in a synthetic securitisation the originator and the investor can agree to an amount which will be deducted from any losses suffered on the securitised pool before […]

EBA publishes consultation on updated homogeneity
The European Banking Authority has just launched a consultation on the homogeneity of the underlying exposures in STS securitisation. The consultation is addressing the issue of the homogeneity in the context of synthetic STS securitisation. Although the scope is extended to also cover on-balance-sheet (synthetic) securitisations, at the same time it establishes the same criteria for the assessment of homogeneity for all securitisations. More specifically, given the relevance of corporate and SME loans in the context of synthetic securitisations, adjustments have been made to the type of obligor to reflect the current market practices and the credit risk assessment approaches […]

PCS files its response to EIOPA’s consultation
PCS filed its response to EIOPA’s disappointing consultation on a possible reform of the capital requirements for insurance companies investing in securitisations. The response may be found here. The consultation was, in our view, a major disappointment. EIOPA’s preliminary conclusions – underlined by their statements at a public roundtable attended by PCS – were that the current framework was “fit for purpose”. For all the reasons set out in our response, PCS feels that this is not borne out by the facts and that the assertion itself as set out in EIOPA’s consultation document feels more like an “act of […]

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 […]

The Cinderella Regulation - EIOPA launches a consultation on Solvency II capital
We have previously referred to the issue of capital calibration for securitisations purchased by insurance undertaking as the "Cinderella issue". Of all the issues on which the European Commission has asked the ESA's to provide advice, it is both the least noticed and yet, in our view, the most important of the unfinished reforms begun with the passing of the Securitisation Regulation. Today, insurance companies are holding a minuscule percentage of securitisations in their books - just above 2%. Their holdings of high quality STS securitisations are in homeopathic amounts at around 0.05%. Yet, if we are to see a […]

EBA publishes excellent report of "Green Securitisation"
Today the European Banking Authority released its Report on Developing a Framework for Sustainable Securitisation. This report was requested by the co-legislators who asked the EBA to outline how they would envisage a regime for green securitisation. Although PCS still has to review the report in detail, a first look suggests that the EBA should be commended for the logical, coherent and fair approach it has brought to bear of this subject. First, the EBA has concluded that there is no need or rationale for having a conceptually different approach to the definition and regulation of green securitisations from that […]

UK Treasury publishes report on the review of the securitisation regime
The UK Treasury just released its report on the review of the securitisation regime. The overall impression is that the UK government is broadly happy with the current regime and is certainly not evincing any wish to tear up the rule book or effect radical changes to the regime inherited from the EU Securitisation Regulation. This report is about tweaking not transforming. A number of technical issues are broached, some small – but not insignificant – changes are mooted but the report is light on concrete proposals or time frames. On many of the issues where the report does suggest […]

Green securitisation - ECB adds its voice in support of the "green proceeds" approach
The European Central Bank has just published its opinion on the draft EU Green Bond Standard legislation. Overall an excellent piece, it is notable when it comes to securitisation for its support for a definition of green that encompasses issuance where the proceeds are used by the originator to finance sustainable projects. This can be found in article 3.1.5 of their opinion. As our readers will recall, a debate arose as to whether the legal EU definition of sustainable securitisation should be limited solely to securitisations of green assets (eg mortgages of green housing or auto loans for electric vehicles) […]
PCS has brought together for you key documents and articles on a given topic to allow you to access all the stuff you need to become an instant expert. If you wish to delve deeper into the more hardcore material – the actual laws, regulations and regulatory rules and guidelines, then you should go to our Essentials library. Also, when looking here, be attentive to the dates of documents. Things may have changed since they were published. But if we put them here it is because they remain relevant and interesting.
Finding it difficult to find those key legislative guidelines and technical standards? Want to go back to the original statute? PCS brings together all the key reference texts on securitisation in Europe.
The UK Prudential Regulatory Authority (UK PRA) has taken a significant step forward by launching a public consultation on proposed changes to the retained EU Securitisation Regulation and the accompanying technical standards on risk retention and disclosure.
The deadline for submissions is Monday 30 October 2023.
Although the UK Treasury has indicated that this is very much a final draft and that it has been published only for "final checks" they will entertain comments until 21 August

Deadline for the EBA consultation Consultation on draft Guidelines on the STS criteria for on-balance-sheet securitisations
Given the growth of on-balance-sheet (synthetic) securitisations since the inclusion in Q2 2021 of synthetic securitisations to the STS framework this is quite important.
A public hearing will take place via conference call on 30 May 2023 from 14:30 to 15:30 (CEST).
The Financial Stability Board invites comments on this consultation report "Evaluation of the Effects of the G20 Financial Regulatory Reforms on Securitisation" and the questions set out below.''
Responses should be submitted via this secure online form by 2 September 2024
Questions
Overall
Preliminary findings: Does the report draw the appropriate inferences about the extent to which the securitisation reforms have achieved their objectives? Is there other evidence on the effects of the reforms to complement the preliminary findings of the report?
Analytical approach: Are the descriptive analyses used to evaluate the effects of the securitisation reforms appropriate? Are there other such analyses to consider? What types of empirical analysis based on available data could inform the evaluation?
Overview of securitisation markets
Trends: Are the securitisation market trends presented in this report adequate given the scope of the evaluation? Are there other important trends that should be included and, if so, what additional data sources could be used for this purpose?
Securitisation reforms
Relevant reforms: Does the report appropriately describe the key aspects of the design and jurisdictional implementation of the BCBS and IOSCO reforms for analysing their impact on securitisation markets? Are there other important aspects of these reforms that should be considered for inclusion?
Other reforms: Does the report accurately identify other G20 and domestic financial reforms that are most relevant for securitisation markets? Are there other reforms that hould be considered in terms of their impact on market participants?
Conceptual framework: Does the report adequately explain the objectives, transmission channels and expected outcomes of the securitisation reforms? What other metrics to assess the impact of the reforms should be considered?
Effectiveness of the securitisation reforms
Resilience metrics for the CLO market: Does the report accurately describe the volution of resilience indicators for the CLO market? To what extent can the evolution of these indicators be attributed to the reforms?
Risk retention in CLOs: Does the report accurately describe risk retention practices in the CLO market before and after the reforms? What additional analysis could be included to assess the effectiveness of risk retention in CLOs across FSB jurisdictions, including on how financing of risk retention deals by third party investors impacts effectiveness?
Resilience metrics for the non-agency RMBS market: Does the report accurately describe the evolution of resilience indicators for the RMBS market? To what extent can he evolution of these indicators be attributed to the reforms?
Risk retention in RMBS: Does the report accurately describe risk retention practices in the RMBS market before and after the reforms? What additional analyses could be included to assess the effectiveness of risk retention in RMBS across FSB jurisdictions?
Effectiveness of BCBS securitisation reforms: Does the report accurately describe the changes in bank behaviour following the implementation of the BCBS securitisation framework reforms? To what extent can the effects of these reforms be disentangled from the broader Basel III framework, other reforms and confounding factors?

Broader effects of the reforms
Effects on financing the economy: Does the report accurately describe the main effects of the reforms on financing the economy? Is there additional analysis that could be undertaken to estimate the benefits and costs of these reforms and to assess their impact on securitisation as a financing tool?
Effects on financial system structure and resilience: Does the report accurately scribe the extent to which there has been a redistribution of risk from the banking to the non-bank financial intermediation sector What role did the reforms play in this process and what are the main benefits and risks from a system-wide perspective? How have the reforms impacted the demand and supply of liquidity in securitisation markets?
Additional considerations
Other issues:Are there any other issues or relevant factors that should be considered as part of the evaluation?
Learn about Significant Risk Transfer (SRT) in Central & Eastern Europe through SCI’s Emerging Europe SRT Seminar. Tailored for emerging SRT practitioners, this event provides insights into the unique challenges and opportunities in SRT strategies. Connect with industry leaders for practical insights on navigating this evolving landscape.
SRT transactions are increasingly common across Central and Eastern Europe, with local regulators showing acceptance of synthetic securitization. A growing ecosystem of legal, tax, and capital advisors is supporting this trend. While Poland leads in SRT activity, other CEE markets are also expected to grow. This growth is anticipated to be gradual, with new players entering the market and existing ones issuing repeat deals as investor interest in the region grows.
Panel highlight:
Is there such a thing as a CEE SRT market?
The CEE region offers unique dynamics with diverse jurisdictions and evolving securitisation landscapes. Dive into discussions on:
- Interplay between SRT and regional legal frameworks
- Regulatory support for synthetic securitisation
- Key challenges and opportunities in the CEE SRT market
- Identifying portfolios for homogeneous reference pools
- Exploring possibilities for multi-jurisdictional or multi-asset class trades

Brexit has put the UK government in charge of its regulatory destiny, while the 20+ years of blissfully low-interest rates is well and truly over. After years of struggling, some would say to exist, market participants in UK securitization finally feel like they have a chance to compete. Old faces are beginning to return to the market while new ones are dipping their toes in the water.

Publication of the consultation paper (CP) setting out FCA's proposed rules to replace the firm-facing provisions from the UK Securitisation Regulation (UK SR)
On 7 August 2023, FCA will publish a consultation paper (CP) setting out proposed rules to replace the firm-facing provisions from the UK Securitisation Regulation (UK SR) which are being transferred into our Handbook.
This CP should be read alongside the Treasury’s near-final draft of a Statutory Instrument, which will keep part of the UK SR in new legislation.
Supervisory responsibility for the UK SR is currently shared primarily between us and the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA).
The PRA has published its own CP on proposed rules to replace firm-facing requirements in the UK SR, which it has supervisory responsibility for.

In Q4 2021, PCS presented a webinar entitled “Quo Vadis” that tried to sketch out the issues that would shape 2022 for the securitisation market.
When we look at the topics we dealt with then, we find that in every case, much as happened since then. But we also find that, although securitisation has travelled a long way down the road – and not always in a direction or at the speed anticipated – in no case has we reached the end of any particular road. So, this January we will reprise our Quo Vadis webinar to look back at how far issues did evolve in 2022 and whether this gives us a better sense of where we will collectively land in 2023 and beyond.
We will examine the future of monetary policy, whether any progress was made in respect of the final implementation of Basel III or in defining “green securitisation”. We will try to lift the lid on the disappointing response to the Commission’s call for advice and discuss where policy makers might go from there and finally how all these threads blend together (or not) to weave a future for securitisation.

For more details on the Brussels Symposium Agenda & Speakers, see below:
The consultation is addressing the issue of the homogeneity in the context of synthetic STS securitisation. Although the scope is extended to also cover on-balance-sheet (synthetic) securitisations, at the same time it establishes the same criteria for the assessment of homogeneity for all securitisations.
More specifically, given the relevance of corporate and SME loans in the context of synthetic securitisations, adjustments have been made to the type of obligor to reflect the current market practices and the credit risk assessment approaches applied to those asset types.
At the same time the in the proposal, we see that similar changes are made to the respective homogeneity factor for all relevant asset types. The proposal further specifies the asset type for credit facilities provided to enterprises, where similar underwriting standards are applied as for individuals.

The event will be a chance to meet experts in the field, originators, arrangers and investors, to discuss market trends and to build relationships.

Mariusz Hyla, Partner and Head of Finance, Projects and Restructuring, DLA Piper
Bartosz Matusik, Partner and Head of Tax, DLA Piper

As the year winds up, there will be many presentations looking into 2022 and seeking to map out the course of European securitisation in the coming months. They will focus on the many securitisation specific developments we can anticipate for next year.
In our “Quo Vadis?” webinar, PCS will seek to look both a little further and a little wider to reflect on the forces that may impact the European securitisation market not only in 2022 but beyond, from ESG to Basel 3, and how these may interact with each other.
The original answer to the question “quo vadis?” was, of course, grim and we hope that the European securitisation market can avoid the fate of the man who originally asked it. But the level of uncertainty is high and the spectrum of outcomes for securitisation in the coming years is wide. PCS does not claim to offer predictions or answers, but we hope to explore to those elements most likely to determine one outcome or another. PCS will also express its own views on what it feels will be the better options in the many decisions that are to be made in the months to come.
Like climate change, European rule making around sustainability and capital markets is moving with extraordinary speed. So swiftly indeed that there are already a number of rules that impact securitisations today and are yet not always fully understood. In addition to those rules, more are coming towards us fast.
As part of its Insight series, PCS has crafted a webinar that will seek to bring stakeholders up to date with the rules that are impacting or will soon impact European securitisations and those the drafting of which is already well in train. The aim is to allow all market participants to prepare for the inevitable changes and participate in the shaping of those rules that are yet up for discussion as well as understand what is at stake for our industry.

In order to mark the occasion of HFSF joining the Prime Collateralised Securities Association, you are cordially invited to attend our joint session on Securitisation.
The webinar is designed for all stakeholders, from those with only the most basic knowledge of securitisations but interested in understanding synthetics, to practitioners who seek to measure the impact of the new STS regime on their documentation and transaction structures.
PCS has crafted an online workshop for all those who want to better understand the new STS regime for synthetic/on-balance-sheet securitisations.
It is designed for all stakeholders, from those with only the most basic knowledge of securitisations but interested in understanding synthetics to practitioners who seek to measure the impact of the new STS regime on their documentation and transaction structures.
The aim of the workshop is to provide insight and understanding around the rationale and approach of the new regime rather than be a “laundry list” of provisions and rules copied from the legislation.
We will also go through the practical lessons learned through those synthetic verifications that we have already conducted.
