The governing council of the European Central Bank (ECB) has decided to alter the loan-level reporting requirements for asset-backed securities (ABSs) backed by auto loans, leasing receivables, consumer finance loans and credit card receivables.
As of 1 October 2014, auto loan, leasing, consumer finance and credit card ABSs for which the mandatory level of compliance with reporting requirements has not been attained and for which the data provider has neither given an explanation for that non-compliance nor provided an action plan for achieving full compliance, will become ineligible for use as Eurosystem collateral, ECB said in a statement.
Additionally, the ECB’s governing council has decided that, as of 1 October 2014, the Eurosystem may temporarily accept non-compliant auto loan, leasing, consumer finance and credit card ABSs as eligible collateral, on a case-by-case basis and subject to the provision of adequate explanations for the failure to achieve the mandatory score required.
For each adequate explanation, the Eurosystem will specify its tolerance stance.
