Higher Quality Securitization

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Financial Regulation in the EU

Abstract

What is securitization? What is its role in the economy? Why have regulators been ambivalent about restricting its use and promoting its growth? This chapter will go over the basics of securitization, discuss the merits and flaws of current regulation and outline future challenges on the path to the European Capital Markets Union.

Daphné Héant, structured credit investor, member of Club Praxis.

Sophie Vermeille, president of the think tank Droit et Croissance, lawyer at DLA Piper, researcher at Laboratoire d’économie du droit at Paris II Panthéon—Assas and lecturer at Paris II.

Yann Coatanlem, president of Club Praxis and director of research at Citigroup.

Special thanks to Pierre-Charles Pradier for his careful review and insightful comments.
