Supply and demand for securitization instruments of all kinds. In principle, anything that promises a continuing stream of payments can be securitized, from credit card receivables to student loans to revenues in a soccer stadium or concert hall. – The catch with any securitization is the moral hazard problem. This is because the incentive for the securitizing bank to monitor the debtor is dwindling, since the buyers of the securitized securities bear the risk of default. – In the financial crisis that followed the subprime crisis, the securitization market dried up almost completely because important buyers of credit risk defaulted in the course of the crisis. These included, above all, off-balance sheet special purpose vehicles and insurance companies in the USA. Stricter regulatory requirements were introduced for both. In addition, buyers lost confidence in the reliability of external ratings, and the quality requirements for such securities increased significantly. In addition, the share of loans that banks themselves must hold in the trading book was also increased by the supervisory authorities. – In the U.S.A., the central bank and the government consolidated the securitization market through extensive purchase programs because this refinancing channel is seen as playing a far-reaching and decisive role there. – See Absence capitalism, Assets, illiquid, Asset-backed securities, Defeasance, Diamond thesis, Nonbank, Submarine effect, Securitization, Securitization securities retention, Consumer complaints, Securitization structure. – Cf.
