EU Plans to Halve Capital Charges on Safest Securitizations
The European Union plans to cut capital charges on the safest securitized products by half, according to a Bloomberg report. The move would lower the capital banks must hold against top-rated securitizations, part of efforts to revive Europe's long-stagnant securitization market and free up lending capacity. Market participants and policymakers have long argued that looser rules could channel more credit to companies and support the bloc's capital markets union ambitions.
Why now: The EU is pushing regulatory changes to restart its securitization market, a major topic for banks and investors.
