We are delighted to announce that Revel Partners's Jonas Bäcklund and Victor Kloos will be conducting a specialised training session for SRT practitioners on 14 October at the Structured Credit Investor's (SCI's) SRT Week in London.The training session, titled "Balance Sheet Optimisation under Basel 3.1", will focus on the upcoming Basel 3.1 reforms—also known as Basel 3 Endgame or Basel 4—that are set to fundamentally reshape the banking landscape. The most significant impact on capital requirements arises from the implementation of the output floor, which will cap the benefits obtainable from internal models and drive inflation in Risk-Weighted Assets (RWAs).
In its 2024 report, Paris Europlace underscores the critical need to remove regulatory obstacles that have hindered the growth of Europe’s securitisation market. This report builds on the increasing momentum following Mario Draghi’s recent insights, which emphasized securitisation as essential for unlocking capital and improving risk-sharing, both vital for the success of the Capital Markets Union (CMU). Draghi’s report stresses that a robust securitisation market is crucial to sustaining Europe’s economic growth and financial stability.
"Streamlining Europe's SRT Market: A Call for Simplification" In a recent interview with Structured Credit Investor, our CEO, Jonas Bäcklund, discussed the need for regulatory reform in the European Significant Risk Transfer (SRT) market. Despite being a leader in synthetic SRT, Europe’s growth is stunted by complex regulations. Bäcklund backs Mario Draghi’s vision for a revitalised securitisation market to fund long-term projects and the green transition. However, he notes that the 400-page proposal might highlight a key issue with European competitiveness: the need for simplification. By standardising structures and refining risk-weighting rules, we can make securitisation a real growth engine for the European economy.
