Overview

The ICMA Primary Market Handbook Seminar provided an introduction to the practical workings of the primary international debt capital markets and the standards that underpin the primary bond market. Of particular interest to junior capital market professionals, the session offered valuable insights into the conventions, documentation and processes that support bond issuance in international capital markets.

The seminar focused on the ICMA Primary Market Handbook, the market's leading reference guide to best practice in the international debt capital markets. The Handbook brings together ICMA recommendations, guidance and standard approaches covering the entire bond issuance process, from mandate and structuring through syndication, allocation, pricing and settlement. For professionals entering the market, familiarity with the Handbook provides a strong foundation for understanding how market participants interact and how transactions are executed consistently across jurisdictions.

Key speaker: 
Ruari Ewing, Senior Director, Market Practice and Regulatory Policy, ICMA

 

The seminar was designed particularly for junior capital markets professionals. A light lunch was provided.

Admission: The seminar was free to attend and open to employees of ICMA member firms and invited guests.
