DBRS Ratings Limited (DBRS) has today published its “Master European Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities Rating Methodology and Jurisdictional Addenda” (the Methodology) with updated addenda on Dutch, Italian and Spanish residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS).

The Methodology presents the criteria on which Dutch, Italian and Spanish RMBS ratings — and, where relevant, covered bonds ratings — are based.

The Methodology is effective as of 10 July 2015.

DBRS recently conducted a review of the Dutch, Italian and Spanish addenda and concluded no material changes were necessary and no rating actions will be taken on any related outstanding ratings. DBRS has not published a request for comment.

DBRS criteria and methodologies are publicly available on its website www.dbrs.com under Methodologies.
