Scenario Analysis: Global Data Center ABS Ratings Are Holding Steady
The global data center sector is experiencing unprecedented demand and growth, driven by rising data usage, cloud migration, and AI adoption. AI has significantly increased the need for data center infrastructure and power, particularly for the initial training of large language models (LLMs) and the expected widespread adoption of AI inference.

Proposed Changes To U.K. Securitization Rules Could Deepen The Market
On Feb. 17, 2026, two of the U.K.'s financial regulators launched a joint consultation outlining proposed reforms to their securitization rules. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) have continually engaged with the securitization industry on perceived shortcomings in the regulations that were inherited from the EU after Brexit, occasionally making minor modifications. However, this consultation proposes more fundamental changes, mostly to the conduct rules. Meanwhile, the EU authorities are also in the midst of finalizing a wide-ranging redesign of both conduct rules and prudential treatment relating to securitization.
