Overview of the Danish covered bond legislation addressing refinancing risk (L89)

The scope of the Act is to address refinancing risk when the underlying loan is longer dated than the bonds utilised to fund it.

The Act was implemented on 1 April 2014 for 1-year ARM loans, and was fully phased in on 1 January 2015 for up to and including two years of funding.

The Act introduces two types of triggers:
 - Refinancing failure trigger (RF)
 - Interest rate trigger (IT)

See presentation of the legislation addressing refinancing risk (including an FAQ)
The presentation is prepared as a joint effort of the Danish mortgage banks.

The first Jyske Realkredit (BRFkredit) bonds with triggers were opened on 28 March 2014.
