ROYAL Bank of Scotland said it planned to sell 4.7 billion pounds (US$7.2 billion) of mortgage-backed securities, marking the British bank's first securitized deal since the credit crisis.
RBS's deal is backed by a pool of new British prime residential mortgages originated through RBS and NatWest Homeloans.
The asset-backed securities market has had a patchy recovery in Europe since the credit crisis and still lacks a broad investor base to drive a flow of new deals.
The market reopened in September last year when rival British bank Lloyds sold a 4 billion pound mortgage-backed bond and German car maker Volkswagen did a bond backed by auto leases.
Securitization markets shut down during the crisis as many asset-backed bonds suffered huge losses because of links to US subprime real estate crisis. Earlier this year, a European Central Bank executive board member said securitization was key to European bank funding and to the vitality of the broader economy.
RBS will hold roadshows in US an Europe.
