Securitisation transactions are regulated under the Securitisation Act, Chapter 484 of the Laws of Malta, which provides for a versatile regime with various options with respect to the form of the securitisation vehicles, as well as the kind of assets that can be securitized.

The Securitisation Act provides that no proceedings taken against the Originator under any law, including any dissolution and winding-up proceedings will have any effect on the SPV, any securitisation assets acquired or risks assumed by the SPV, as well as any cashflow or other asset of the SPV, and any payments due by the underlying debtors in connection with the securitised assets.
