European Covered Bond Dealers Association (ECBDA)

ECBDA's Mission

The European Covered Bond Dealers Association (ECBDA) is a new initiative designed to bring SIFMA’s regulatory expertise and business-focused model to bear on Europe’s covered bond market dealers. Its objectives and purposes are:

To represent the interests of covered bond dealers in European covered bond markets by creating a united voice in order to maximise influence with issuers and investors;
To promote an efficient pan-European covered bonds market;
To address primary and secondary issues in European covered bonds markets by facilitating consultation with key market participants;
To complement and cooperate with other membership-based trade organisations in the covered bonds arena, on issues of mutual concern and in order to promote common interests;
To be globally connected to covered bonds activities coordinated by SIFMA US and Asia.

Board Membership on the ECBDA is open to European covered bond dealers that make markets in at least 50 covered bonds or which rank among the top 20 underwriters in Europe of covered bonds. Associate Membership is open to all European covered bond dealers.

We are currently working on an Investor Survey and a Covered Bonds Market Overview.
