ECB Vows to Cut Approval Times for ‘Simple’ SRTs to 10 Days

The European Central Bank is seeking to slash the time it needs to approve some significant risk transfers, in a move that could further boost the appeal of a popular tool to manage banks’ capital requirements.

“A new fast-track process for simple securitizations has been tested in the first half of 2025,” ECB Supervisory Board member Sharon Donnery said in a post published by the central bank on Monday. “This new process will cut approval times from three months to just ten working days.”
