Key Regulatory Developments for Securitisation in the EU, the UK, and the US, ICLG
May 13, 2026Partners Merryn Craske and Brandon Figg and of counsel Karl Horvath co-authored an article in ICLG examining recent and proposed regulatory developments affecting securitization markets in the European Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
The authors analyze evolving EU proposals to amend the Securitisation Regulation, including changes to transparency, due diligence, and the definition of public securitizations, alongside the United Kingdom’s proposed overhaul of its securitization framework aimed at simplifying compliance and enhancing market flexibility. They also review key US developments, including Securities and Exchange Commission guidance on conflicts of interest in asset-backed securities and Commodity Futures Trading Commission no-action relief for certain credit risk transfer structures. The article highlights the increasing complexity of cross-border transactions and the need for market participants to closely monitor regulatory changes.
