  16. Securitization in Non-housing Sectors: PLDT PLDT through Citicorp securitized net settlements, the asset which arises from the imbalance between calls coming into the country from the Filipino diaspora and the much smaller quantity of outgoing calls. Citicorp arranged a US$98m deal for PLDT in December 1997 and a US$ 100m in March 1998

  19. Securitization: Housing Sector • January 29, 1997 - Bankers Trust in talks with KBs on securitization • June 12, 1997 - Finance pushes secondary mart for mortgage IOUs • September 2, 1997 - Guidelines on sale of asset-backed securities drafted • October 30, 1997 - BAP, Citibank eye secondary mortgage firm

  20. Securitization: Housing Sector • March 25, 1998 - Mortgage-backed securities to debut at PSE by October • June 2, 1998 - PSE, Urban Bank to formulate rules on trading of asset backed securities • April 30, 1999 - Mortgage-backed securities of IFC, Urban postponed

  21. Securitization: Housing Sectors • December 1, 1999 - FOCUS: A secondary market for housing • March 20, 2000 - Government to exempt housing securities from taxes • April 25, 2000 MONEY MANAGERS - Finding Pag-IBIG Fund's real identity

  22. Securitization Housing Sectors: NHMFC-DOF • Euroweek May 5,1999 Philippines mulls housing loan sell-off The government aims to either streamline or shut down the operations of agencies which have been responsible for building up portfolios of non-performing mortgage loans averaging 40% to 60% of the total.

  23. Securitization Housing Sectors: NHMFC-DOF The Philippine government is envisaging either a straight sale to third parties of both portfolios, totaling Ps42bn ($1.04bn) for NHMFC and Ps38bn ($940m) for Pag-IBIG, or creating a new merged government-owned entity responsible for bad debt workout and improved revenue collection

  24. Securitization Housing Sectors: NHMFC-DOF A number of banks including Goldman Sachs, Lehman and Salomon Smith Barney have already put forward proposals. But as one banker said, "This has resulted in very optimistic government projections envisaging the realization of 50% to 70% of face value. The actual prices it should expect to receive will come nowhere near these levels."

  25. Securitization Housing Sectors: NHMFC-DOF The government only guaranteed the first 22% of potential losses, so if any part of the portfolio is worth less than 78% of face value, so the three funders will be prepared to absorb the losses themselves from any potential sale. Many bankers doubt whether the government has the political will to absorb losses.

  26. Securitization in the Housing SectorWhy so little progress for so much promise?

  27. Why is there no secondary market for mortgage-backed securities? 1. Secondary market for government securities is practically non-existent 2. Primary mortgage market is weak 3. NHMFC, designed as government secondary mortgage institution is not functioning as such. - Romeo L. Bernardo Former Undersecretary Department of Finance

  28. Our Analysis Under a free market system, if there is a demand for a product or service, some entrepreneur motivated by profit and not by public service will come in and supply the the product or service. If not, then we have a market failure.

  29. Addressing Market Failure • Government takes the initiative to address the market failure - The Malaysian Model: Cagamas • Government provides the incentives for the private sector to address the market failure - The Hong Model

  30. The Malaysian Model: Cagamas • Cagamas Berhad, The National Mortgage Corporation, was incorporated in 1986 to support the Malaysian Government’s policy of encouraging house ownership, particularly of the lower income group. By providing liquidity to the financial institutions and at the same time, to develop the private debt securities market.

  31. The Malaysian Model:Cagamas • Since commencing operations in October 1987 with an initial bond issue of RM 100 million, the total volume mortgage purchased stood at RM 19,419 million as of end December 1999. As a result, Cagamas has securitized 25.1% of the outstanding loans of the financial institutions as of the end of December 1999.

  32. The Hong Kong Model • The Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation (incorporated March 1997) creates a market for low-income and middle-income housing loans through purchase of MBS papers, loan guarantees and outright subsidies • The Hong Kong Monetary Authority encourages the securitization of high-income housing projects

  33. The Hong Kong Model • The Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation Limited (HKMC) launched its Guaranteed Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) Programme on 22 October 1999 with Dao Heng Bank Limited (DHB). • MBS papers provided a new alternative for banks in Hong Kong to liquefy their residential mortgage loans in the market with a powerful new balance sheet management tool.

  34. The Hong Kong Model • 1997 - HKMA asks banks to reduce mortgage exposure to 40%. Dah Sing Bank mortgages stood at 46%. Dah Sing moved a portion of its residential mortgage portfolio (HK$ 300m) off balance sheet. The transaction enabled the bank to move below the HKMA's 40% limit.

  35. The Hong Kong Model • 1998 -Without any prodding by HKMA, Deutsche Bank reopened the Hong Kong mortgage securitization market in April 1998. The HK$244.15m transaction was for its own account, parceling a portfolio of mortgages made the previous year.

  36. The Hong Kong Model • 1999 - Private sector expands securitization The Wharf (Holdings) Ltd undertakes non-Japan Asia's biggest ever securitization. Sino Land Ltd and Chinese Estates Ltd followed. Société Générale repeated that approach in November for Chinese Estates

  37. Conclusion While Malaysia and Hong Kong have used securitization to restructure the badly battered real estate sector as well as provide needed liquidity and future market-based rating of the banking system, the Philippines seems to have completely abandoned a promising tool of monetary management.

  38. Proposed Securitization Plan for the Housing Sector • Conference Resolution #1 • Conference Resolution #2 • Recommendation

  39. Conference Resolution #1 • The conference members submitted to the President proposals in the form of a: • Draft Executive Order instructing the concerned agencies of government to develop a legal, fiscal and regulatory framework for ABS • Draft Securitization Law creating special purpose corporations and secondary market institutions and providing tax incentives for ABS.

  40. Conference Resolution #2 • The private sector conference participants bound themselves to undertake the following: • Endorse to the BSP Governor a framework on a legal and regulatory regime on asset-backed securities • Promote the organization and operation of a ‘private sector-led’ SMI

  41. Conference Resolution #2 • Initiate the standardization primary mortgage market documentation • Initiate the creation of a central depository for good titles and the introduction of title insurance

  42. Recommendation: Creation of a Public Good Conference resolutions are really seeking the creation of the infrastructure that must be present before securitization of the housing sector can proceed. In order words, a public good must first be produced before private gains can be realized.

  43. Recommendation:Champions of Securitization Needed We believe that the infrastructure will be built if: 1. A government agency will act as champion in building the infrastructure; and 2. An entrepreneur will convert the act of securitizing the housing sector into a highly profitable business

  44. Recommendation: Build on Existing Infrastructure Moreover, if there is a will, a way will be found to build the infrastructure by building on existing foundations and programs without resorting to the issuance of Executive Orders or the passing of Legislation

  45. Recommendation :BSP, the Ideal Champion The government agency who should build the infrastructure is the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP): 1. Banks are the major players in asset securitization as originators, trustees, issuers, servicers and investors

  46. Recommendation :BSP, the Ideal Champion 2. Securitization will provide the needed liquidity to some illiquid banks or their illiquid clients. 3. BSP has the technical expertise, the financial credibility and the regulatory power to build the securitization infrastructure.

  47. Recommendation :ABS Innovator Needed International Financial Institutions specializing in ABS will be needed given: 1. The apparent lack of interest of the local players without the incentives considered too generous by government agencies; 2. The expertise, the resources and the credibility that these players can provide.

  48. Recommendation: Proposed Plan of Securitization • BSP invites financial institutions who would be interested in developing a market for Mortgaged Backed Securities in the Philippines. • BSP reviews with the interested financial institutions BSP Circular 185 (Series of 1998) as basis for developing the market.
