CEEMEA print sprint to grow into primary marathon

CEEMEA borrowers — sovereigns in particular — were forced to ramp up their capital markets borrowing in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. The elevated issuance volumes are set to stay, even though there are concerns that some emerging market borrowers will need a strong dose of debt relief amid fears about just how sustainable their borrowing levels are. Mariam Meskin reports.

Liquid bond market ready to aid Latin America’s healing

Despite funding stresses in certain Latin American countries, bond markets will continue to help the region with its financing needs. For now, this eases the pressure for reform and fiscal consolidation, but issuers must eventually face up to political and social turbulence. Oliver West reports.

Winning deals show corporate bond market at its best

The corporate sector took the heaviest hit from the coronavirus pandemic, with entire industries pushed to the edge of the abyss almost overnight.

Firms face up to Covid debt legacy in QE-warped market

Debt was the answer to every problem in 2020, as companies tried to survive the coronavirus pandemic. Dusty revolving credit facilities that had never been touched were fully drawn, firms begged from governments, those that could flocked to the bond market. Now, with hope of the crisis easing, there is an awful lot of debt to clear up. Mike Turner reports.

Covid-hit industries seek ways back from the brink

The coronavirus has smashed the usual hierarchy of companies, large and small, creating new winners — and many losers. While 2020 was about finding ways to keep their financial lifeblood flowing, in 2021, more permanent solutions will need to be found. This will include bond funding for those still shut out — and M&A. Mike Turner reports.

Private debt spotlight shifts to direct lending

No two crises are the same, and to expect financial instruments to behave in the same way in each one would be unfair and naïve. But having proved their mettle in the 2008 crisis, the Schuldschein and USPP markets seemed well placed to thrive in 2020. Not so. Instead, it was the turn of direct lending to shine. Silas Brown reports.

Fixing Europe’s companies: the Covid rescue playbook

Corporate finance in 2020 was utterly without precedent. Never before had so many once-stable firms seen revenues evaporate instantly, with so little visibility on when the world might recover. Companies did whatever they could to hang on, pulling every lever available to source scarce cash. As 2021 begins, so will a new phase, where the fallout of the Covid rescue playbook becomes clear. Owen Sanderson reports.

Restructuring revolution set to kick off in 2021

There could be more large restructurings in Europe in 2021 than ever before, as companies seek sustainable capital structures after 2020’s rash of emergency financing. But it’s also a new horizon for the laws that govern restructuring, as countries replace a patchwork of dated and difficult insolvency regimes, and the UK exits the European Union, ending automatic recognition of its court rulings. Owen Sanderson reports.

Convertible market looks to kick on after coming of age

Convertible bonds have thrived during the pandemic, as companies rushed to raise capital to shore up their damaged balance sheets or to take advantage of the opportunities for growth that the crisis has unexpectedly created. Meanwhile, investors who bought in have been rewarded with strong returns. More of the same is expected in 2021. Aidan Gregory reports
