London, UK – MFA issued the following statement in response to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Prudential Regulation Authority’s (PRA) decision to seek industry feedback on the next phase of securitisation reforms:
“MFA welcomes efforts by UK regulators to modernise the securitisation framework by simplifying requirements and reducing unnecessary investor due diligence burdens. The reforms will help expand investor choice by ensuring non‑UK securitisations are not disadvantaged. A streamlined, globally open framework will strengthen UK capital markets and support more efficient capital allocation. The UK’s direction advances competitiveness through clarity, proportionality, and openness, and we will continue to make the case for a similar level of ambition in the EU.” — Rob Hailey, Managing Director, Head of EMEA Government Affairs, MFA
