The Securitisation Regulation and related measures

As part of the Capital Markets Union Action Plan, the European Commission proposed to differentiate simple, transparent and standardised (STS) securitisations which would benefit from reduced due diligence burdens and more appropriate prudential requirements for banks' and insurers' investments in STS products.

•
Regulation (EU) 2017/2402 (the EU Securitisation Regulation) that applies to all EU securitisations and includes due diligence, risk retention and transparency rules, together with the criteria for STS securitisations, and
•
Regulation (EU) 2017/2401 (the EU CRR Amendment Regulation) which amends the Capital Requirements Regulation (EU) 575/2013 and makes the capital treatment of securitisations for banks and investment firms
