Residential mortgages have always dominated securitization. In 2006, there was an astonishing $1.28 trillion of RMBS issuance in the US, a figure that fell to a post-crash low in 2012 of around $30 billion.
Volumes have picked up since then, and RMBS-related issuance is forecast to reach $100 billion in 2019, up from $86 billion in 2018, according to Standard & Poor’s. However, the market is still a shadow of its former self.
The banks still dominate mortgage lending, but not nearly to the extent that they used to.
