  • Fresh from the success of its ground breaking soft bullet retail auto loan securitisation in the US market last week, General Motors Acceptance Corp this week launched the first auto loan securitisation in the Swiss franc market. The Sfr1bn deal, led by Credit Suisse First Boston, is GMAC's first ABS in a non-dollar currency for many years, and reinforces the trend that securitisations from US issuers now provide many of the Swiss market's biggest deals.
  • Spain's leading airline, Iberia, this week became the first European airline to launch an enhanced equipment trust certificate (EETC), the secured borrowing tool that has become a major source of finance for US carriers. Deutsche Bank lead managed the issue of Eu117m of senior notes rated double-A by Duff & Phelps and Moody's and Eu39m of mezzanine debt rated A+/A1. Iberia will retain Eu39m of unrated notes from the financing, which will be used to buy six new Airbus A-320s worth Eu260m.
  • n JP Morgan this week launched its innovative 'CBO of CBOs', Zais Investment Grade Ltd (Zing), to a warm reception from European investors.

  • Last year's credit and liquidity crisis in the world's financial markets has knocked the development of the Eurorand market backwards. With credit concerns still a key factor among investors and with rand paper still yielding far more than other emerging market currencies, issuance has been dominated by vanilla bonds from top-rated names. Diversification of structures, issuers and the investor base has been put on the backburner.
  • ONE THREAT to the role of Euro-MTNs in the international markets, particularly for US issuers, is a possible change to the treatment of swaps by US companies back into dollars by the US Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).
