Document: EU to loosen rules for resold debt

The European Commission plans to make it easier for banks to invest in resold debt, known as “securitization,” under draft proposals to revise rules for the practice seen by POLITICO.

The Commission will publish its revision of the EU’s securitization rules in a legislative package on June 17.

This will include changes to the Capital Requirements Regulation, the Securitization Regulation, and two secondary laws, the Liquidity Coverage Requirement Delegated Act and the Solvency II Delegated Act.

Under the draft plans here and here, the EU executive intends to change how capital requirements for banks investing in securitization are calculated to make them more “risk-sensitive” — in practice making it easier and more attractive for banks to engage in the practice. The plans also seek to loosen due diligence and reporting rules.

The revamp forms part of the EU’s push to deepen and integrate its capital markets to generate more capital to invest in businesses under its “savings and investments union” plan.

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
