Securitisation in Luxembourg: A comprehensive guide
June 2021 - 10th edition
On 21 May 2021, the Luxembourg Minister of Finance submitted the draft bill No. 7825 to the Parliament amending the Law of 22 March 2004 on securitisation (the “Luxembourg Securitisation Law”) which has been in place for 17 years now. This long-awaited draft bill introduces some small but very important adjustments, which will further increase the flexibility and the legal certainty of Luxembourg securitisation transactions and help the Luxembourg securitisation market to thrive again in the near future.
Besides the important modernisation of the Luxembourg Securitisation Law, there have been some other, but no less important, developments during the last twelve months. Indeed, the EU Securitisation Regulation, effective as from January 2019, has been further amended. On-balance-sheet synthetic securitisations can now qualify as STS transactions, and the transposition of the ATAD 1 Directive into Luxembourg law is still a hot topic for the Luxembourg capital market participants.
All these topics - and many more - are covered in this 10th edition of our reference guide for securitisation in Luxembourg.
