Gradual deal flow likely as NZ securitisation gets back on the agenda

Signs of life appear to be emerging in the New Zealand securitisation arena, with one issuer recently having established a programme and at least one other understood to be sizing up a deal. But market participants are tempering expectations by stating that this year's deal flow is likely to be limited as investors continue to be wary of non-bank names, with more activity anticipated to come through in 2011.
