Fitch to Outline Continental European Structured Finance Outlook for Rest of 2011

LONDON--()--The performance of structured finance transactions across European countries and between the different sectors has varied hugely in recent years, according to Fitch Ratings. The Continent produced transactions that provided some of the most stable safe havens during the credit crisis, but also had significant pockets of under-performance.

Senior analysts from Fitch's structured finance teams in Frankfurt, Madrid, Milan and Paris will be discussing the current picture for structured finance across continental Europe and provide views on the future during a morning seminar on Tuesday 19 July.

The agenda includes the following discussion points:

--Macroecomomic drivers: how many speeds does Europe have?;

--Sovereign risk: How does it affect structured finance?;

--What's driving performance? From German Autos to Spanish RMBS and everything in between;

--What will new transactions look like and where will they come from? ; and

--The outlook for issuance across sectors and jurisdictions.
