KBRA releases its Day 1 recap of the Global ABS 2026 conference, held from 9-11 June.

Global ABS 2026 opened in Barcelona with record attendance, as the conference’s 30th anniversary edition attracted more than 5,570 on-site attendees, surpassing last year’s high-water mark. Participation was broad, with representation from issuers, investors, and attendees from more than 55 countries. The first day underscored the breadth of Europe’s securitisation agenda, beginning with discussions on the global economic outlook, structured finance market conditions, European competitiveness, and securitisation regulation. Afternoon panels then transitioned to sector- and product-specific themes, including equity release, renewable energy, collateralised loan obligations, significant risk transfer, project and infrastructure finance, and commercial mortgage-backed securities.
