EBA Consults On Its Guidelines Interpreting The STS Criteria In Securitisation

The European Banking Authority (EBA) launched today a public consultation on its draft Guidelines, which will provide a harmonised interpretation of the criteria for the securitisation to be eligible as simple, transparent and standardised (STS). The EBA Guidelines will play a crucial role in the new EU securitisation framework, by providing a single point of consistent interpretation of the STS criteria to originators, sponsors, investors and competent authorities throughout the Union. The consultation runs until 20 July 2018.
