Abstract
[eng] Securitization and the financial system. Mirroring developments in the United States that date to the mid 70's, securitisation is now expanding in Europe, reinforcing changes that are taking place in the role played by financial intermediaries. From serving as essential links between lenders and borrowers, they are becoming simply one of many financial counterparts, using securitisation as a way of reducing the size of their balance sheets, as a source of financing and fee income, and as a vehicle for investment. However, such operations are not without risk for the participants. Securitising banks retain some risks (credit risk and various other risks), as do financial institutions that invest in securitisations. It is important to ensure that this transfer of risk does not result in undermining global financial stability. Thus regulation needs to take account of these developments, particularly in the context of the reform of international capital adequacy standards. . JEL Classification : G19 regulation needs to take account of these developments, particularly in the context of the reform of international capital adequacy standards. . JEL Classification : G19 [fre] À l'instar de ce qui a été constaté aux États-Unis depuis le milieu des années 1970, la titrisation se développe en Europe, consacrant ainsi l'évolution du rôle des intermédiaires financiers. De passage obligé entre prêteurs et emprunteurs, ceux-ci sont devenus des intervenants financiers parmi d'autres, utilisant la titrisation pour des raisons diverses : allègement de leur bilan, source de financement ou de commissions, instruments de placement... Ce type d'opérations n'est cependant pas exempt de risques pour les différents intervenants : en effet, la banque cédante conserve généralement un certain nombre de risques (risques de crédit ou risques diffus), tout comme l'investisseur. Par ailleurs, il convient de s'assurer que ce transfert de risques ne se traduit pas par un affaiblissement de la stabilité financière globale. La réglementation doit par conséquent s'adapter à cette évolution dans le cadre, notamment, du futur ratio de solvabilité. . Classification JEL : G19
