For half a decade, Euromoney Seminars’ ‘Latin America Syndicated Loans Conference’ has been the premier regional event for bankers, borrowers and service providers alike.
Meeting in October will be the industries’ leading international and regional lenders, F.I. and corporate borrowers, private equity representatives, investors, risk analysts and legal experts.
One of the biggest challenges for the region currently is sustaining viable economic growth in the region’s bank markets despite the global financial market turmoil. The future for the region continues to look bright in spite of the difficulties in the global capital markets.
This year’s conference will once again offer participants the opportunity to hear from industry experts on the most pressing issues including:
- The changing face of syndicated loans: Clubs, best efforts and the future of deal making
- Refinancing, amendments, waivers
- Project finance
- Local currency liquidity: How much does it cost? What depth is there in the local market?
- Benchmarking, ceiling values and size
- Macroeconomic perspectives on the region: Why Latin America continues to weather the storm. Will the historic decoupling from the North American markets continue?
- Debt capital markets and the development of the region’s bond markets: How fixed income products are sustaining the region’s corporates. Will this trigger the loan market and when?
- Trade finance: Back to basics
- Bankruptcy and insolvency: Awareness of the legal conflicts in these markets
- Role of ECAs in promoting market recovery
- Untangling derivatives
- Holistic approaches to capital market funding
