Event overview

Registration: 13:30 Light Lunch & Refreshments
Event Start: 14:30
One Moorgate Place, London EC2R 6EA
Primary bond issuance from CEEMEA borrowers in the first few weeks of 2025 was robust: the USD71bn-plus of new-issue flow to mid-February was 13%-plus above the same period of a very active 2024 and a third higher than the previous year.
Investor engagement was strong as deals generally completed with low to no premiums to fair value. Given the geopolitical uncertainties swirling around CEEMEA, US tariff impacts and other global and regional challenges, that has been impressive.
But will the flow dynamics hold for the rest of the year?
With the CEEMEA market busy so far in 2025, where does that leave borrowing requirement for the rest of the year? What are the principal discussion points across each of the regional sub-segments? For CEE borrowers, will we see a pick-up in local currency markets as a diversification play amid a busy regional political calendar?
Given the technical backdrop, is there room for less frequent or more storied regional borrowers to tap the market at reasonably economic cost?
Among topics to be discussed:
- Review of new-issue activity
- Assessing deal flow and provenance of issuers
- Evaluating regional new-issue pricing and performance
- Reviewing and gauging the future direction of regional fund flows
- Investor sentiment and the buy-side perspective
- Update on sustainability financing
- Frontier market access
Conducted as an interactive panel discussion between market professionals from the sell-side, buy-side and other segments, the session will be moderated by Keith Mullin of KM Capital Markets.
