EBA publishes final draft technical standards on risk retention for securitisation transactions
July 31, 2018--The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today its final draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) specifying the requirements for originators, sponsors and original lenders related to risk retention as laid down in the new EU securitisation framework (STS Regulation).
These final draft RTS, which replace the current Commission Delegated Regulation on risk retention, aim to provide clarity on the requirements relating to risk retention, thus reducing the risk of moral hazard and aligning interests
These final draft RTS address the fundamental issue of the possible misalignment of interests and incentives in securitisation transactions between the investors on the one hand, and the originators, sponsors or original lenders on the other, by ensuring that the latter maintain their 'skin in the game' and retain at least 5% of material net economic interest in each securitisation.

EBA publishes final draft technical standards defining the homogeneity of the underlying exposures in securitisation
July 31, 2018--The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today its final draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) setting out conditions for securitisation to be deemed homogeneous. Homogeneity is one of the crucial requirements for a securitisation transaction to be assessed as simple, transparent and standardised ('STS') and to be eligible for more risk-sensitive risk weights under the new EU securitisation framework.
Homogeneity is also a key element for investors when assessing the underlying risks and performing their due diligence. The RTS are part of 28 mandates assigned to the EBA within its important role in implementation of the new securitisation framework.
