No, Steve, that's not true.

GDP (Gross Domestic Product) measures the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific time period. The key components of GDP are consumer spending, business investment, government spending, and net exports (exports minus imports).

The original loan is counted in GDP as a financial service provided by a bank. But any securitization or derivatives on that loan would be double-counting so they are not part of GDP.
