In the latest episode of Morningstar DBRS’ “European Securitisation Insights” podcast, host Mudasar Chaudhry, who leads our European Structured Finance Research team, is joined by Guglielmo Panizza, Vice President, European ABS Ratings, and Miklos Halasz, Assistant Vice President, European ABS Ratings, to discuss the treatment of alternative-fuelled vehicles in asset-backed securities (ABS) transactions.
The episode provides an overview of the European auto market covering key trends and some differences among jurisdictions. Road vehicles contribute roughly 15% of global CO2 emissions, and, more specifically, cars and vans contribute around 10%. Working towards net-zero targets, the auto industry is shifting towards alternative fuel vehicles, and we are beginning to see this change also in securitised European auto pools. The speakers examine whether this transition from internal combustion engines to alternative-fuelled vehicles has any impact on the credit performance or credit rating analysis of auto ABS transactions.

In this episode of Morningstar DBRS’ “European Securitisation Insights” podcast, host Mudasar Chaudhry, who leads our European Structured Finance Research team, is joined by Adriana Alvarado, Senior Vice President, Sector Lead of Global Sovereign Ratings and Ketan Thaker, Managing Director of European RMBS & Covered Bond Ratings to discuss the impact of the new Labour government on the UK’s housing market.
The episode explored the shift to the newly elected Labour Party-led government after 14 years of Conservative Party-led rule, the election result’s impact on the UK economy, and the key takeaways from this change. As always, house prices and housing availability are important to UK voters. The panel discussed the views presented in the pre-election Labour Party manifesto, particularly those around housing plans for the next parliament. Past governments have repeatedly failed to meet housebuilding targets, and the speakers examined whether the problem lies in the number of houses built or other factors at play. The panel also delved into our credit view on how the new government’s proposed policies could affect the performance of UK residential mortgage-backed security (RMBS) transactions.

Commentary - ESG: Climate Risk and Credit: -- https://dbrs.morningstar.com/research/413235/esg-climate-risk-and-creditMethodology - Morningstar DBRS Criteria: Approach to Environmental, Social, and Governance Risk Factors in Credit Ratings: https://dbrs.morningstar.com/research/427030/morningstar-dbrs-criteria-approach-to-environmental-social-and-governance-risk-factors-in-credit-ratings
The inaugural part of the session saw us discussing the key differences between second-party opinions (SPOs) and credit ratings. We then turned our attention to the key considerations in the context of SPOs and credit risk analysis when considering climate change. We also discussed if SPOs or a lack thereof, impact credit ratings analysis in European Structured Finance. The speakers also shared their views on whether ESG-labelled transactions carry any premium and how they see the market evolving.

In this episode, Mudasar Chaudhry, who leads European Structured Finance Research at Morningstar DBRS, is joined by Mirco Iacobucci, Senior Vice President, Sector Lead, European Real Estate Ratings, and Patrizia Catanese, Assistant Vice President, European Real Estate Ratings, to discuss how disclosures on energy efficiency and their implementation are addressed within the European commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) sector.
We delve into details on how Morningstar DBRS’ environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria framework incorporates ESG considerations in the credit rating process with reference to commercial real estate and how real estate assets contribute to carbon emissions. In the context of our analysis, we discuss how we evaluate the impact of the energy efficiency data, if available, on cash flow, value, and loan refinancing prospects. The conversation also revolves around some regulatory and disclosure requirements coming into force in the near future, which may affect CMBS.

In this episode, Mudasar Chaudhry, Head of European Structured Finance Research, is joined by Richa Pandey, Analyst for European Structured Finance Research, and Christian Aufsatz, Managing Director and Head of European Structured Finance, to introduce Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs). We discussed if there is quantitative relationship between energy-efficiency improvements and lower probability of default for associated loans as well as if EPCs of residential properties can affect credit ratings. We also discussed some regulatory and disclosure requirements, which can further assist with the availability of consistent EPC data. While the speakers acknowledged the presence of some initial evidence of credit implications related to EPC factors, their current significance falls short of justifying their inclusion as pertinent for quantitative credit analysis.

In this episode of DBRS Morningstar’s “European Securitisation Insights” podcast, Mudasar Chaudhry, Head of European Structured Finance Research, is joined by Paolo Conti, Head of European ABS, to discuss the proposed updates to DBRS Morningstar’s "Rating European Consumer and Commercial Asset-Backed Securitisations" methodology. Speakers shared thoughts on what residual value (RV) risk is and why it matters in European ABS transactions. The proposed updates to the methodology relate to a revision of our approach to RV risk and the application of stresses to salary assignment loans. In particular, our revised approach provides for the incorporation of dependency on the remaining term.
