Alison Bisbey, Senior Writer at Green Street News, joins host Patrick Dolan to discuss the potential for increase in Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) issuance as prepayments rise. She explores the impact of prepayments on FFELP ABS, the factors behind them, and whether sponsors may wait for spreads to narrow. 

This episode also highlights the continued dialogue between insurers and bank regulators about unfunded guarantees in bank credit risk transfer (CRT) and synthetic risk transfer transactions and the concerns raised by regulators. Alison examines whether the revised Basel III proposal will address these issues.
