South-east Asian securitization goes with regulatory flow

Asia

Thailand's first publicly rated mortgage-backed securities issue is the latest in a series of securitizations in south-east Asia, suggesting that the region may be developing an active market in the asset class.
The Bt7.17 billion ($177 million) transaction, named GT Stars II, was executed by Lehman Brothers as part of the disposal of a distressed loan portfolio that the bank bought from the Financial Restructuring Agency in 1998 and DBS Thai Danu Bank in 2000. The deal in late July was also the first publicly rated securitization of distressed assets in Thailand, although Lehman completed a similar issue, GT Stars I, in 1999 that was privately placed and not rated.
