  • If March 13 was Fabulous Friday for the Greek economy and its capital market, then August 24 was Miserable Monday. This was the day which local bankers and brokers had been looking forward to as a major landmark in the modernisation of the Greek banking industry, the development of the privatisation programme and, in turn, the progress which Greece was making towards Emu membership.
  • Behind the scenes, bankers are slowly building on the lively start made in the Swiss asset backed bond market earlier this year when the first securitisation of freight rolling stock in Europe and the first term securitisation of Swiss mortgages took place.
  • To the uninitiated it may seem a sleepy backwater with (literally) a handful of deals done to date, but the Portuguese securitisation market is ready to pop - if the authorities get it right.

Many of the top securitisation houses invested a lot of time and money competing for mandates from the country's biggest corporates and banks, only to see their plans ruined just weeks or months before they came to fruition.
  • Over the first half of 1998, Greece - or the Hellenic Republic as it has officially been known since 1994 - experienced both extremes of fortune in its visits to the international capital market.
  • "The Belgian securitisation market, although young, presents most of the characteristics of a mature European market," says Gaëlle Philippe-Viriot, assistant vice president and analyst at Moody's Investors Services in Paris. "A well adapted legal framework, a growing diversity of securitised assets and sellers, increased interest by large financial institutions and transaction structures that meet both investor demand and originator constraints."
