Mission
The European Covered Bond Council (ECBC) is the platform that brings together covered bond market participants which brings together covered bond issuers, analysts, investment bankers, rating agencies and a wide range of interested stakeholders. The ECBC was created by the European Mortgage Federation (EMF) in 2004. As of August 2009, the Council has around 100 members across more than 20 active covered bonds jurisdictions and many different market segments. The ECBC represents over 95% of covered bond issuers in the EU.
The purpose of the ECBC is to represent and promote the interests of covered bond market participants at the international level. The ECBC’s main objective is to be the point of reference for matters regarding the covered bond industry and operate as a think-tank, as well as a lobbying and networking platform for covered bond market participants.
