In conversation on key capital market themes: Primary markets for underwriters
The ICMA annual conference once again connected ICMA’s membership for an expert review of the main trends and developments in the international capital market over the last 12 months and looked forward at how these will impact financial markets and the global economy over the next few years.
Taking account of the global pandemic, key themes this year included: market developments and regulation in the primary, secondary and repo markets on the sell side and the buy side; progress on the transition from LIBOR to risk-free rates; the mainstreaming of sustainable finance; and how fintech is revolutionising capital markets.
Featuring speakers from major international institutions, the half day virtual event was an essential briefing on where the debt capital markets are headed.
