The goal is to build a solid foundation in core concepts, terminology, and principles to enhance their understanding and confidence in financial matters. 2.

Services provided under this lot shall cover among others, one course on basic securitisation and another one on advanced securitisation for both a) true sale cash ABS and b) synthetic securitisation in the form of financial guarantees. The emphasis should be on European securitisation transactions, with a primary focus on securitisation of SME loans and/or leases, including SRT transactions. Further assets classes such as consumer loans and residential mortgages may be requested. Trainers must have a good knowledge of current and upcoming regulatory framework. Regarding synthetic securitisation, the training shall focus on the issuance of financial guarantees by Multilateral Development Banks, such as the EIB Group. The EIB Group securitisation transactions are always undertaken in order to generate new lending, so called “use-of-proceeds”. Due care shall therefore be taken to highlight the difference between the EIB Group’s approach vs. a commercial investor.
