Template-Type: ReDIF-Book 1.0 Author-Name: Bank for International Settlements Title: Treatment of Asset Securitisations Provider-Name: Bank for International Settlements Abstract: The purpose of this paper prepared by the Securitisation Group of the Basel Committee is to discuss two sets of proposals that were initially outlined in the January 2001 consultative package. The first proposal is for an IRB treatment of securitisations, and the second is a general approach to synthetic securitisations. By design, these proposals are based on other elements of the New Basel Capital Accord. For example, the IRB treatment of traditional and synthetic securitisations relies on the IRB risk weight functions for credit risk. Similarly, the treatment of synthetic securitisations incorporates elements of the credit risk mitigation framework. Therefore, as the Committee's work on these other aspects of the New Basel Capital Accord evolves, so too will elements of the securitisation proposals discussed herein.
