As the European securitization market gears up for Global ABS 2025, Another Fine Mezz looks ahead at what will be hot at the conference.
George Smith and Tom Hall are joined by a guest from our podcast sponsor Morningstar DBRS - Christian Aufsatz, managing director and head of European structured finance and covered bonds ratings.
It's pretty clear regulation is going to be high on the agenda again, after a leaked draft of the European Commission's proposals emerged last week. But there is much more than that on the minds of market participants — everything from emerging asset classes to the growth of private credit is likely to be discussed.
GlobalCapital will have an editorial team of three at the conference — George, Tom and our US MBS reporter Nick Conforti. The meeting schedule is looking busier than ever, but just in case there's some time to spare, Another Fine Mezz also got Christian's recommendations for things to do in Barcelona. The picture might give you a clue.
