DBRS Morningstar Updates Transaction Summary 84 of STABLE Trust

ABCP
September 24, 2021

DBRS Limited (DBRS Morningstar) released an updated Transaction Summary report that provides details on Transaction 84 of STABLE Trust, which consists of a secured loan backed by a security interest in a portfolio of retail auto loan receivable contracts and related rights (the Portfolio of Loans). The update reflects a one-year extension of the program, an increase to the program limit and a change to available credit enhancement.

The transaction assumptions consider DBRS Morningstar’s baseline macroeconomic scenarios for rated sovereign economies, available in its commentary Baseline Macroeconomic Scenarios For Rated Sovereigns, published on September 8, 2021. These baseline macroeconomic scenarios replace DBRS Morningstar’s moderate and adverse COVID-19 pandemic scenarios, which were first published in April 2020. The baseline macroeconomic scenarios reflect the view that, although COVID-19 remains a risk to the outlook, uncertainty around the macroeconomic effects of the pandemic has gradually receded. Current median forecasts considered in the baseline macroeconomic scenarios incorporate some risks associated with further outbreaks, but remain fairly positive on recovery prospects given expectations of continued fiscal and monetary policy support. The policy response to COVID-19 may nonetheless bring other risks to the forefront in coming months and years.
