Significant risk transfers
Dear European Central Bank,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am seeking further information on significant risk transfers.
In a February note, the ECB highlighted that banks are only allowed to reduce their capital requirements when their supervisor agrees that the securitisation transfers a significant amount of risk to third parties.
- Please provide any and all data on the number of approaches to supervisors regarding reducing capital requirements in this way, how many have been successful, and how many have been rejected for each of the past five years respectively.
The ECB has created a fast-track approval process for such transfers that is being trialled in the first half of this year.
- Please provide any and all data on the number of SRTs that have gone through this process, the number that have been approved and rejected respectively, and the average length of time taken to go through the process compared to the previous process.
- Please also provide minutes of any meetings or similar analyses conducted by the ECB into the fast-track process.
Kind regards,
Justin Cash
