APRA issues letter to ADIs on scrutiny of securitisation practices
The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) has announced a review of securitisation practices, following recently identified repurchased residential mortgage loans at some authorised deposit-taking institutions (ADIs) that were subject to repayment deferral from their securitisations. In APRA’s view, this represents implicit support, which is inconsistent with Prudential Standard APS 120 Securitisation.
The letter to ADIs is available on the APRA website at: Scrutiny of securitisation practices.
