The Real Story – Six Phases of a Securitization Project
Securitization in Emerging Markets – Turkish Case
4
• Turkey and the surrounding geography including Romania and Bulgaria offers vast potential for the securitization market
• Albeit this potential, there is lack of a corporate securitisation market in those countries
• Financial sector companies represent the sole set of originators
• Current asset classes are limited to credit card receivables, check receivables, diversified payment right receivables, leasing receivables
• Therefore, promising future for various asset classes in corporate balance sheets
• Similarly, room for different types of Asset Backed instruments for the development of the market
General Outlook
Securitization in Emerging Markets – Turkish Case
5
Borrower’s Charecteristics
• There are conceptual differences in the definition of SMEs amongst different countries
• EU Member States traditionally had their own definition of an SME, though converging into same standards lately
• The current SME definition by the EU categorizes companies with fewer than 50 employees as "small", and those with fewer than 250 as "medium“. Turkey also uses the same definition
• The main difference between Turkey and EU regarding SME definition is the turnover consideration:
– Minimum annual turnover treshold according to the EU countries is € 2 million to € 49 million.
– In Turkey, its is between € 0.6 – € 15 million
• Hence, the initial steps should be rather extending securitization transactions to upper-middle market companies before reaching SME’s

Market Enviroment for SME’s
• Easier access to bank markets - Availability of standardized, commodity financing products for SME’s, mainly from domestic banks
• SME’s may prefer to use evergreen revolving facilities backed by existing receivables – mostly for post financing; similarly, Reverse Factoring is developing
• No domestic capital market financing availability
• Relative inadequate sophistication of financial markets and products
• Lack of know-how on the corporate side for alternative financing sources
• Crowding-out effect of financial sector originators
• Developing legal framework and regulatory control over securitization transactions

Situation Analysis – Originator Challenges
• To create efficient, reputable asset classes
• To achieve Pricing Advantages, preferably below Sovereign
• To achieve Cost Efficiency, bearing in mind the small sizes of the companies and the underlying asset volumes
• To create “user-friendly” transaction structures with solid credit enhancements
• To work out with the underlying legal framework and “translate” it to investor language
• To reach the investor base by strong and efficient distribution channel
• Getting the rating agencies on board – relative inexperience for corporate rating strategies
• Getting the monoline insurers on board – smaller deal sizes

Situation Analysis – Investor Base Challenges
• Mostly first comers to the market
• Volatilities in Emerging Markets
• Relatively scarce lines for SME’s, especially for new comers
• Need to have credit enhancement for portfolio investors – lower deal ratings
• Difficulty of price comparisons – lack of track record
• Need for mitigating the servicing risk and streamlining securitization operations
• Need for sound investor reporting mechanism
