The three European Supervisory Authorities (EBA, EIOPA and ESMA – ESAs) today published a joint advice in response to the European Commission’s October 2021 call for advice on the review of the securitisation prudential framework. The ESAs welcome the current review as an opportunity to assess the performance of the current framework and support the objective of reviving the EU securitisation market. The targeted proposals in the advice aim at improving the consistency and risk sensitivity of the capital framework for banks whereas the liquidity framework for banks and the prudential framework for (re)insurers should be maintained as it currently stands. However, the ESAs believe that re-calibrating the securitisation prudential framework would not be a solution that in itself would ensure the revival of the securitisation market.
