EBA publishes final guidelines on significant credit risk transfer for securitisation transactions
July 7, 2014--The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today a final set of Guidelines that will support both originator institutions and competent authorities in the assessment of significant risk transfer (SRT) for securitisation transactions.
These Guidelines will be part of the EU Single Rulebook in the banking sector and will ensure harmonised assessment and treatment of significant risk transfer across all EU Member States.
The EBA recognizes that securitisation in a well-defined prudential framework is beneficial to banks and is a key funding tool for the real economy. Furthermore, it is a useful tool to achieve credit risk transfer and risk-sharing in the financial system and to support the current deleveraging and de-risking process of EU banks without inducing an excessive contraction in the real economy.
