Securitization in China

[edit]

If you believe the assurances of recent weeks, some of the world's big commercial lenders are verging on a return to the ancient three-six-three rule of banking: gather deposits at 3 per cent, lend at 6 per cent, get on the golf course by 3pm. Nothing high-octane, nothing fancy.

Not in China. Here the banks are embracing techniques they have not used before – including much-maligned strains of securitisation. China Construction Bank, the second largest lender, is poised to raise about $300m in the country's first domestic sale of commercial mortgage-backed securities.

China has two good reasons for bucking the back-to-basics trend. First, developing asset-backed securities markets further would reduce the overwhelming dependence on bank loans and equity for funding growth. CCB introduced the ABS concept three years ago with a small residential mortgage-backed deal, but the market is still officially in beta-test mode, awaiting a proper legal, tax and accounting apparatus. China saw $2bn of new issuance in the first half this year, according to Moody's – a quarter of India's output, and an eighth of South Korea's.

Second, China actually has buyers for this stuff (though they are almost all other banks, rather than insurance companies or pension funds). In Europe total CMBS issuance fell 91 per cent to just €3bn in the first half. Elsewhere rising defaults and a growing number of loans on watch lists mean there is limited appetite for increasing exposure to property.

CCB's transaction should become the 16th and final deal done under the central bank's provisional ABS regime, established in 2005. Once completed, it will be tested along with the rest on effectiveness of risk transfer, enforceability, asset pool quality and the like, before the state council gives the green light to an all-new securitisation market. If it avoids the excesses that brought such pain to western banks, it could give China's capital markets a leg-up.
