Eligibility for central bank credit

Credit quality class required when pledging collateral to the central bank. – At the ECB, securitized securities that meet the eligibility requirements are also included in principle. However, in the case of asset-backed securities, – only the highest-ranking senior tranche or any sub-tranches thereof are eligible, – the securities must be collateralized by receivables assumed by the special purpose entity as part of a true sale securitization, – collateralization by receivables in the form of derivatives remains excluded, and – the special purpose entity must be domiciled in the European Economic Area. – With the introduction of the Eurosystem’s Single List of collateral at the beginning of 2007, the commercial paper lost its status as eligible collateral. – See eligibility, creditworthiness analysis, central bank, tier two collateral, credit assessment framework, repo transactions, collateral, marketable, backing. – Cf.
