  • Bond market participants in Latin America are gradually accepting that Zoom video calls will become a permanent feature of their job. However, in this particularly travel-intensive segment of capital markets, when it comes to selling a product, neither issuers nor bankers appear willing to cut down visits to clients in a region where personal trust is arguably more important than anywhere else.
  • Beijing Enterprises Clean Energy Group is back in the offshore loan market, seeking a $150m borrowing seven months after its last deal.
  • Spain’s Red Eléctrica Corporación has hired banks to run a series of fixed income investor calls for a debut five year senior unsecured deal, in the first European corporate roadshow since stringent social distancing measures were implemented across the continent.
