The article discusses reasons why securitization is still innovative despite a wave of commoditization. The author states that it is true that elements of ever tightening credit spreads and the looming implementation of the revised Basel Accord mark an end to the free-for-all days of securitization arbitrage and capital relief. But that is where the buck stops. Indeed, for those thinking outside the box, there are plenty of opportunities for premium work left in the market. Many of those are potentially the next big thing in securitization innovation. A recent example is the daring Explorer transaction, securitizing Portuguese tax receivables, which prompted fierce debate in the Portuguese parliament. Or Germany's Aries deal, synthetically securitizing Russian government debt, creating a double market for Russian paper.
