    Asset backed securities have ceased to be the most common form of collateral used in the European Central Bank’s liquidity facilities, according to data published by the ECB this week. Uncovered bank bonds overtook ABS as the largest single asset class in the Eurosystem during 2009, as ABS’s share fell from 28% to 23%. The ECB attributed the decline to lower market values and increased haircuts as the absolute level of collateral submitted remained "stable" at Eu468bn. Overall, an average of Eu2.034tr of collateral was put forward by banks during the year.
