GFMA provides comments to the Basel Committee for Banking Supervision (BCBS) requesting an extension of the comment due date of the Consultative Document on Revisions to the Basel Securitisation Framework. GFMA appreciates the efforts of the the BCBS and its working group that produced the technical paper (the Technical Paper) and a proposed quantitative impact study (the QIS) in connection with the consultative document. However, given the short period of time from the issuance of the Technical Paper and the QIS, and the meeting thereon, until March 15, 2013, when the comment period on the Consultative Document is due to expire, GFMA members are concerned that there is not sufficient time remaining before the Comment Due Date to adequately evaluate and comment on the Consultative Document.
