The Need For Effective Regulation Of The Asset-Backed Securities Market, Commissioner Luis A. Aguilar, U.S. Securities And Exchange Commission

Date 29/08/2013

Today, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission” or “SEC”), acting jointly with the Federal banking and housing agencies, re‑proposes rules to require credit risk retention by sponsors of asset-backed securities (“ABS”), as required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). It is important to note that today’s re-proposal is one of various actions taken or proposed by the Commission to improve the ABS market. Accordingly, today’s action should be considered in that context, and I encourage commenters to address that multi-pronged approach. In that regard, I urge the Commission to adopt robust rules requiring loan-level disclosures in ABS offerings, which were originally proposed more than three years ago.

Statement Regarding Joint Rule Reproposal Concerning Credit Risk Retention, Commissioner Michael S. Piwowar, Securities And Exchange Commission

Date 28/08/2013

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”) today approved a joint rule reproposal to implement Section 941 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank”). I am not able to support the release in the form approved because the reproposal does not contain necessary economic analyses and does not adequately consider alternatives to credit risk retention requirements or the interplay between those requirements and other regulatory reforms.
