Changing Tides – US and European Corporate Debt Market: What You Need to Know

Tue. October 03, 2023 08:30 am - 10:30 am !Trade Commission of Spain New York, NY 10174

The narrative around corporate credit continues to shift as issuers and creditors have navigated first the pandemic, the credit boom, inflation and supply chain constraints, rising interest rates and now, a potentially-looming market downturn.

Our panel will discuss the implications of these forces on the corporate credit markets and those participating in them.

AGENDA items include the following:
• Updates on European and US state of non-performing loans & corporate debt
• Are businesses over levered coming out of the pandemic?  If so, how are they addressing current inflationary pressures and the potential market downturns?
• Is the problem limited to rising interest rates, or is access to (even more expensive) funding drying up?
• What are the trends for in-court vs out-of-court solutions for troubled companies?
• Public funding schemes across the EU are ending and protection from bankruptcy is winding up—what are the implications?
• What sort of disputes are there, or what kinds can be expected, arising from the distressed market?
• Recognition by national courts of third country insolvency proceedings (use cases from Luxembourg, UK, Spain)
