DBRS Places 33 Spanish CLO Transactions and 68 Classes Under Review with Negative Implications
Structured CreditDBRS Ratings Limited (“DBRS”) has today placed Under Review with Negative Implications 33 transactions and 68 ratings for Spanish cash flow securitisations collateralized primarily by portfolios of bank loans to small and medium-sized enterprises (“SMEs”).
The rating actions reflect the 3 May 2012 DBRS downgrade of the Kingdom of Spain’s Long-Term Foreign Currency and Long-Term Local Currency ratings from AA (low) to A (high) with the Negative Trend maintained (see press release “DBRS Downgrades Spain to A (high), Trend Remains Negative”).
DBRS will undertake a review to determine the impact of the sovereign downgrade on the transaction and will publish updated rating actions that may either result in a confirmation or a downgrade. DBRS employs a case-by-case approach that is jurisdiction-specific and asset-specific with the risks and protections of each transaction identified and considered. The lower the sovereign rating, the greater relevance and potential impact it has on securitisation ratings. This is due to less favorable macroeconomic conditions, stress factors related to the transaction parties, and increased likelihood for unknown events to occur.
For a more detailed discussion of sovereign risk impact on Structured Finance ratings, please refer to DBRS commentary “The Effect of Sovereign Risk on Securitisations in the Euro Area”, located at http://dbrs.com/research/239786.
