Regulatory Reform and Its Impact on ABS Investment

Panellists review the wave of regulatory changes affecting ABS investors and issuers, including EU Solvency II reforms reducing capital charges for securitizations from January next year, proposed CRR updates for banks, and the UK's post-Brexit Solvency UK framework. The discussion covers how these changes could draw insurers back into the market, tighten spreads on senior tranches, and ultimately support growth in issuance and investor participation.
