flag Slower global growth and ongoing tariff pressures are expected to strain structured finance performance in 2025, especially for weaker borrowers, Fitch Ratings reports. flag While most ratings remain stable due to deleveraging and strong protections, 38% of 89 subsector outlooks are deteriorating, mainly in North America. flag In the U.S. and Canada, inflation and labor market weakness are increasing delinquencies in both prime and non-prime RMBS, with CMBS under pressure from lower revenue and higher costs. flag Europe shows resilience from low rates and stable employment, though SMEs and non-prime borrowers remain vulnerable. flag CLO defaults are projected to rise due to tariff uncertainty, and auto ABS arrears may increase as vehicle values fall. flag Australia and New Zealand maintain neutral outlooks, while Chinese RMBS and ABS face stress from weak growth. flag Latin America shows mostly neutral trends, but RMBS defaults and arrears are expected to rise.
