Dutch Central Bank’s Solvency Rules for Securitisation

On 1 April 2004, the Dutch Central Bank’s (DCB) new Solvency Rules for Securitisation (Securitisation Rules) came into force. The Securitisation Rules are applicable to banks that are subject to DCB’s supervision on the capital requirements for banks. The capital requirements require banks to maintain a certain amount of own funds to be calculated on the basis of risk weighting the bank’s assets.
