RRD Weekly: 19 to 25 October 2026

SM&CR consultation, securitisation deal, BCL S 1.9

Editor’s note

The week covered 24 articles, led by Luxembourg BCL statistical returns, the provisional EU securitisation deal and the PRA's SM&CR Phase 2 consultation. The SM&CR consultation matters most for UK banks and insurers because responses are due by 22 January 2027, while Luxembourg credit institutions holding renminbi should check their S 1.9 monthly filing.

Five things

1. BCL S 1.9 Reporting: Renminbi Loans, Deposits and the CNH Rule

   Guidance article on the existing BCL S 1.9 return, which Luxembourg credit institutions file monthly to report renminbi loans, deposits and purchases and sales.

2. EU Securitisation Framework Review: Deal Agreed, Rules Not Yet Live
