STRUCTURED FINANCE COMMENTARY

Global ABS Review
The year started in much the same way as 2012 ended, on a very slow note. However, since mid-January the market has picked up again in terms of activity. There has been some positive news flow since the Basel Committee diluted the liquidity requirement for LCR allowing high quality ABS to be part of it. We should expect a 15% to 25% hair cut to be applied, which are similar to levels used by the ECB for its current lending/repo scheme. Of course from a balance sheet perspective such announcement can only relieve pressure on many banks and will have a positive effect on ABS securities in both the US and Europe.
