Proposed reduction in risk weight floors: For qualifying STS transactions from 10% to 5%, and for non-STS from 15% to 10%.
Introduction of a new 'resilient' metric to determine capital relief eligibility, which includes criteria such as amortization schedules, concentration limits (maximum 2% obligor limit), minimum credit enhancement, and counterparty credit risk.
If enacted, these changes could improve securitisation economics for banks and alter relative value dynamics.

ESMA database shows 907 registered STS deals with €447bn cumulative issuance as of 2024.
60% of recent publicly securitised collateral is STS-eligible, with RMBS and UK markets as primary sources, but northern European countries show higher STS proportions in certain sectors like autos and consumer finance.
The database is skewed toward private markets, with trade receivables and auto ABS being prominent, while mortgages have low representation despite being large in public markets.

Banks are the dominant buyer base in the European market, holding 54% of primary issuance share, up from 47% in 2022.
Asset managers' share of primary issuance rose to 42% in 2023-2024, indicating growing competition.
Banks show stronger demand for STS-certified deals due to preferential capital treatment, making them key drivers of STS supply.

Proposed risk weight floor reductions could alter relative value (RV) by reducing the attractiveness of non-STS asset classes compared to prime sectors, though liquidity and market size remain crucial considerations.
The changes may draw sectors closer in RV analysis, potentially reducing differentiation in prime segments after accounting for updated risk weight floors.
Spread differentials between STS and non-STS deals in prime segments are inconsistent, suggesting RV analysis should focus on segment-specific profiles rather than broad comparisons.

Regulatory uncertainty may influence supply and demand, with bank activities likely to have market-wide spillovers.
Supply implications include shifts in asset types, such as reduced representation of higher-beta assets in STS-eligible deals.
