Credit structuring

In the credit sector, a specific type of financing transaction designed to raise money through the issue of credit instruments whose quality is based on that of identifiable assets rather than the credit standing of the debtor concerned. The financial flows generated by these assets are used exclusively to ensure the principal and interest flows of the securities issued.
