RMBS template
TheRMBS taxonomy will ensure that standardised data are gathered for all European RMBS transactions. The RMBS template is applicable to prime and non-conforming RMBS transactions and covers both stand-alone and revolving structures.
Sets of fields: The RMBS template consists of various sets of fields: on the one hand, fields which relate to information about the underlying assets and, on the other, fields which relate to information about bond securities. For those fields relating to the underlying assets, the template includes static fields for information relevant to the underlying assets at issuance and dynamic fields for data that need to be updated regularly.
Mandatory fields: While all of the fields requested in the asset and bond templates are relevant to RMBS securities, the Eurosystem has decided that a subset of those fields should be mandatory. The mandatory fields should be provided to maintain eligibility upon entry into force of the eligibility requirements. The template will operate under a ‘comply or explain’ principle. If a counterparty is not able to complete a certain mandatory field, this will not automatically render the transaction ineligible as the counterparty will be expected to explain why the information cannot be provided. Counterparties are encouraged to include data in optional fields in the template.
Jurisdictional specificities: The RMBS template takes into account jurisdictional specificities and will ensure that standardised data are gathered for all European RMBS transactions. For each jurisdiction, applicable fields are clearly marked in the templates. In certain markets some fields will not apply and therefore do not need to be completed.
Latest update : Please note that the RMBS template and taxonomy were updated in June 2013 to incorporate a small number of technical changes. These changes are listed below and will be applicable as of 1 July 2013.
