The purpose of the Forum is to accelerate the process of healthy growth of securitization in the region. The Forum intends to achieve this purpose through a multi-directional effort – more interaction and sharing of information among industry participants, investors and the intermediaries, standardisation of practices in the industry for health development, interface with the regulators for legislative changes where required, healthy and positive prudential regulations, meaningful accounting standards, etc.
The Governing Body of the Forum includes securitization experts and professionals from different countries in Asia. Membership of the Forum is spread all over the region.
About the Course
The President of India has recently promulgated the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interests Ordinance 2002. The Ordinance covers three mutually unrelated issues, except that all the three are vital to the development of financial sector in the country.
This workshop aims at a full-length discussion on each of these three issues – securitisation, asset reconstruction companies, and enforcement of security interests.
Securitization, the device that converts financial assets and relations into tradable commodities, is undoubtedly one of the most significant innovations of our time. Having made its debut about 3 decades ago in mortgage markets in the USA, securitization is a USD 5 trillion worth business in global markets. The present event will discuss the legislative framework of securitisation under the Ordinance.
Mounting problem of non-performing loans has stifled economic growth in most Asian countries – India included. While Japan, Malaysia, Korea, Thailand etc had taken an early lead in setting up of Asset Management Companies, we have been talking about such resolution companies for quite a while and have now taken the first legislative step towards formation of Asset Reconstruction Companies by banks and financial institutions.
The workshop will go into global models of institutional set up of asset management companies, and will take up case studies from several countries including Malaysia, Korea and Japan on resolution of NPL problem by asset management companies.
Non-judicial enforcement of security interests is a bold step towards resurrecting the sanctity of financial undertakings. Systems for perfection and enforcement of security interests exist in most countries. In this event, we will discuss the legal machinery for private enforcement of security interests under the Ordinance and compare it with systems in some other countries.
