Public Policy & Regulation

Regulation is constantly evolving. We aim to anticipate and address potential impacts on the loan markets, both broadly and within specific areas. By engaging in consultation responses, developing position papers, and maintaining dialogue with regulators and stakeholders, we contribute to shaping regulatory developments and supporting compliance and best practice across the loan markets.

Call to Action

The LMA is considering its response to these consultations and would like to hear from you with your views. Please contact Jesse Beardsworth or Evelien Alblas if you would like to be involved.

LMA co-signs joint statement on investors' views on the EU Securitisation Review

On 20 November 2025, the LMA co-signed a joint statement setting out concerns from the perspective of investors on the European Commission's proposed reforms regarding the EU securitisation framework. The joint statement sets out the shared views of the LMA and six other trade associations (AFME, AIMA, EFAMA, IACPM, ICMA and MFA).  

We collectively call on co-legislators to make improvements that will enable demand for securitisation in Europe to grow in the context of a robust and resilient regulatory framework.
