The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (SFSA) has announced a stricter review of how credit institutions manage non-performing loans, aligning with European Banking Authority (EBA) guidelines. These guidelines mandate strategies and governance measures for banks with NPL ratios exceeding 5%, focusing on governance, operational efficiency, and strategic reduction of NPLs. This move reflects a regional trend in the Nordics, where authorities emphasize financial stability through robust NPL management frameworks. Non-compliance could result in capital buffers or operational changes, while effective strategies may enhance credit ratings and financing opportunities. Revel Partners supports institutions with expertise in NPL management, offering solutions like portfolio analysis, governance frameworks, and NPL securitization to meet regulatory demands and unlock new capital opportunities.
The Eurogroup has tasked the Financial Services Committee (FSC) with identifying concrete steps to advance the Capital Markets Union (CMU) in Europe. With support from key EU institutions, the FSC produced a report focusing on essential areas such as sustainable finance, securitisation, and harmonising financial reporting standards. The report suggests actions to harmonise securitisation standards, improve transparency, and align securitisation frameworks with sustainability goals. However, we believe more emphasis on securitisation’s role is needed to fully realise its potential in enhancing capital velocity, attracting non-bank capital, and providing unique investment opportunities. Additional recommendations include standardising regulatory approvals, developing an “STS 2.0” framework, harmonising regulations for insurance capital, and expanding retail access to securitisation. These steps could significantly strengthen Europe’s financial infrastructure and market resilience.
We are excited to announce that Josefina Frenk and Philip Vasseghi will be joining our team shortly! Josefina brings a wealth of experience in securitisation and the non-performing loans (NPL) markets, with a proven track record in structuring complex transactions across these areas. Josefina joins us from Lowell, where she currently holds the position of Head of Strategic Finance. Prior to this, Josefina worked with securitisations at Nordea. Philip Vasseghi joins from SEB Corporate Finance. His extensive corporate finance experience, alongside his hands-on expertise in the Commercial Real Estate sector, will both support the Group's broader strategic agenda as well as bolster Revel Partners’ execution capacity.
