ICMA co-signs Joint Associations’ response to the ESMA consultation of December 2023 on the review of SECR Article 7 templates
25 March 2024 ICMA co-signs Joint Associations’ response to the ESMA consultation of December 2023 on the review of SECR Article 7 templates.
The promotion of well-functioning cross-border debt securities markets, without unnecessary fragmentation, is at the heart of ICMA’s mission and a priority for ICMA’s members. This includes a healthy, efficient international securitisation market promoting global diversification and financial stability. For this reason, ICMA is supportive of the Joint Associations’ response to the ESMA consultation of December 2023 on the review of the securitisation disclosure templates under Article 7 of the EU Securitisation Regulation (SECR). The response seeks to address in the interim period (prior to the wider review of the SECR) certain urgent matters that could help to revive the securitisation markets by reducing unnecessary complexities and cost of regulatory compliance. The Joint Associations collectively represent a very significant number of the key stakeholders in the European securitisation markets.
