Abstract

Real Estate-Backed Securities(‘REBS’) are widely acknowledged as a cost-effective way for enterprises to raise funds directly from market investors through securitising real estate receivables, while the current legal environment in China makes true sale and bankruptcy-remoteness, two characteristics that separate REBS from loans, impossible to be achieved. This article offers an engaging introduction to REBS by situating it in a wider commercial context, provides a clear description of the typical procedures used in current REBS practice, conducts an in-depth analysis of the causes of the said two problems and ultimately puts forward to two legally modified multiple-tier structures and one final solution which may hopefully be used to solve the said problems.
