The European Commission published its eagerly awaited consultation on the securitisation regulation today. After informal soundings with market participants in summer this year, the official part is now following. The consultation is very broad-based, with ten topics, and the deadline for submissions is 4 December. Based on a first reading, the following main focusses have been identified:
- Effectiveness and scope of securitisation framework
- Due diligence and transparency requirements
- Prudential treatment of securitisations for banks and insurance companies
The consultation represents a significant opportunity to adjust the Level I text in the right places. We as TSI will therefore accompany the consultation closely. We look forward to discussing this topic with you in person at the TSI Congress in Berlin.
