Summary

The shifts in the interest rate environment over the past year have had a profound impact on bond flow and investor sentiment in Europe and globally. This has pushed investment banks, issuers and investors to look closely at everything from duration and sector risk to how yield curves are shaping corporate bond tenors.

Europe’s debt markets have also withstood a barrage of challenges, including Russia’s war in Ukraine, a banking crisis in the US and the eventual merger of Credit Suisse and UBS, the unprecedented write-off of Credit Suisse’s additional tier one bonds and a sharp rise in the cost of debt across the board. Investment banking revenues have come under pressure as deal flow weakens, raising questions about the health and prospects of the debt market.

In this webinar, we will take a deep dive into the current state of the European debt market, changes in sector dynamics and types of debt being issued, the pressure on the real estate market and how best to navigate this complex landscape effectively. We will explore:

  • Key DCM trends and themes across Europe, the Middle East and Africa
  • How markets are looking at different asset classes like FIG and corporate bonds
  • Stress on European real estate bonds and implications for banks
  • How the interest rate environment has affected the yield curve – is there demand for duration?
  • Eurozone inflation is falling but will it lead to an end to interest rate hikes? How should banks/ investors/ issuers position themselves?


Who should attend?

This webinar is targeted at investment banking and debt capital market professionals, as well as portfolio managers and EMEA specialists. Participation is free but subject to prior registration.
