Securitization : The Road Ahead / Miguel Segoviano, Bradley Jones, Peter Lindner, Johannes Blankenheim.

A comprehensive set of reforms-targeting both supply- and demand-side inefficiencies-will be needed to put securitization back on a sound, growth-supportive footing. The note departs from others in proposing a broad suite of principles applicable to various elements of the financial intermediation chain. After indentifying where policy makers have already made progress, we then propose measures to address remaining impediments to the rehabilitation of securitization markets. We also encourage more consistent industry standards for the classification of risk (albeit applied at a granular rather than overarching level). Finally, we introduce various initiatives that could aid in fostering the development of a diversified non-bank investor base for securitization in Europe.
