* Sofinloc, a finance company owned by Portugal's Banco Finantia, this week launched its second securitisation of car loans, auto leases and long term rental contracts, with a Eu100m deal lead managed by Deutsche Bank. KV Prabhakar, head of asset backed syndication and trading at Deutsche Bank in London, said the deal was the first of many to come this year from Portugal, where the already enthusiastic interest in securitisation has been strengthened by the passing of a securitisation law last year.
