While the EBA carries on with its work to determine the conditions to identify simple, standard and transparent products within the securitisation market, the discussion paper issued today lays down the preliminary views on defining the three pillars: simplicity, standardisation and transparency. These, together with criteria on the credit quality of the securitised assets, should shape a new class of securitisation products that are prudentially sound and may hence become subject to specific regulatory recognition.
In the discussion paper the Authority also acknowledges the wide spectrum of risks that can be embedded in securitisation processes, as well as the different historical performance of securitisation determined by these risks.
Through this public consultation, the EBA is inviting its stakeholders to provide their input and views, so as to inform its final technical advice to the European Commission, which is expected for the second quarter of 2015.
Comments to these consultations can be sent to the EBA by 14 January 2015. A public hearing will then take place at the EBA premises on 2 December 2014 from 10.00 to 13.00 UK time.
