New articles and links on Insurance securitisation	My column by Vinod Kothari ______________________ The Himalayan success that was Securitisation workshop in Mumbai With 71 participants representing the top of the country's financial firms, the recent securitisation workshop in Mumbai, India was a tremendous success. It was not a dumb crowd of the curious - it was a unique, rare event where every single word that the speaker spoke or wrote on the screen was watched and debated upon. And, with a crucial cricket match clashing, it was so overwhelming to see about 50 odd people still in the hall till 6.30 pm on the second day. The workshop was symbolic of the immense interest securitisation activity in India had picked up. At the same time, the fact that the market was only tending towards maturity was abundantly clear as there were a number of gray areas. Practices were still far from precept. All the 4 guest speakers, Rajesh Mokashi from CARE, Venu Parameshwaran from Citibank, Conrad D'Souza from HDFC and Cyril Shroff from Amarchand Mangaldass and Co. were at their erudite best. Some of the crucial issues that emerged are as follows: In a maturing market, securitisation may not, for some time, achieve its basic intent, viz., reducing funding costs. The market demands a premium for a product that is new and therefore perceived risky. Accounting rules are flagrantly being violated by Indian players - absence of a stand by the ICAI is helping players write securitised assets off the balance-sheet, while most such deals retain risks with the originator. High time the RBI wrote a proper code on securitisation.
