Today, I had the pleasure to participate in the PCS Prime Collateralised Securities Symposium, hosted by Allen & Overy, on Securitisation and enrich my understanding of the opportunities and challenges the industry faces in Europe. The title of this event: “Securitisation – The missing component of Europe’s financial architecture” clearly hints to the need for policy action to unleash the potential of this asset class in deepening the European capital market. In my presentation, I looked at securitisation from a financial stability angle and how to use it as a crisis management tool: ➡ If well-designed, securitisation is a flexible and powerful tool that helps to improve market depth and liquidity, risk sharing and risk diversification and by that, market stability. ➡ Securitisation has been used very effectively as a crisis management and crisis prevention tool in some European countries, enhancing financial stability in times of stress. ➡ Pan-European schemes have the potential to improve scale, diversification, standardisation and transparency, as well as help sever the link between banks and sovereigns by reducing the country specific dependencies. ➡ Some actions under the Capital Market Union agenda are key enablers for a deeper securitisation market in Europe: harmonisation in insolvency regimes, supervisory convergence and targeted simplification of the regulatory apparatus. I would like to thank Ian Bell for this opportunity to exchange ideas with leading experts in the field and gather their views on policy priorities to deepen the dialogue between market players and policy makers.
