2007 was a huge year for the Middle East syndicated loans market. At the same time, last year saw the annual Euromoney Syndicated Loans Middle East Conference firmly established as THE event for syndicated loan professionals across the region. Indeed 2007 was a year for records in terms of sheer size and mere pricing of deals coming to market. 2008 is set to be a similarly eventful year but with changing dynamics and market conditions this event takes place at a perfect time for industry experts to discuss what the future holds, develop strategies and build key relationships going forward.
The conference attracts senior representatives from international and regional lenders, F.I. and corporate borrowers, investors, government dignitaries, risk analysts and legal experts. With relationships remaining an imperative issue in this market you cannot afford to miss the chance to meet the key arrangers, borrowers and investors and establish your name in the region.
