The EU Securitisation Regulation - Considerations for Asia Pacific Issuers, Originators, Sponsors and their Advisers

7 March 2019

The European Union (EU) Securitisation Regulation (the EU Securitisation Regulation), which replaces previously sectoral securitisation rules and provides a harmonised regime, took effect on 1 January 2019. EU law continues to impose significant (and somewhat increased) compliance obligations on certain EU entities that invest in securitisations. As a result, Asia Pacific managers and originators offering securities to EU institutional investors or structuring securitisations funded by EU institutional investors are likely to be indirectly affected by the EU Securitisation Regulation's requirements.

In this briefing, we consider the main elements of the EU Securitisation Regulation relevant to Asia Pacific securitisation transactions, and what compliance under the EU Securitisation Regulation would mean for these transactions.
