The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today the final Guidelines on the criteria related to simplicity, standardisation and transparency and additional specific criteria for on-balance-sheet securitisations (so-called STS criteria). These Guidelines will ensure a harmonised interpretation of these STS criteria, in alignment with the EBA Guidelines for asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) and non-asset-backed commercial paper (non-ABCP) securitisation.
