An overview of the key trends and deal terms of the BSL markets in the US and Europe over the past 12 – 18 months, with crystal ball predictions for the next 12.
A look at the latest trends in Liability Management Transactions (LMTs) and what we are likely to see in the second half of 2025, including a look at emerging lender protection strategies through credit agreement protections and coop agreements.
David Chmiel will deliver a geo-political state of the world address in which he will discuss how the results of last year’s elections around the globe could impact the corporate loan markets.

He will analyse, amongst many other issues, the Trump tariffs, the disparate European views on defence spending, and whether Presidents Zelensky, Trump, and Putin can successfully negotiate an end to the Ukraine war.
