Capital Markets Guide
The global financial crisis that started in 2008 significantly affected much of the Eurozone and caused bank lending volumes in many parts of Europe to decline significantly. In addition, Basel III capital and liquidity rules have required banks to strengthen their balance sheets, and this too seems to be transforming Europe’s bank-lending-dominated debt markets. Businesses are more aware of the need to diversify funding sources as a result of these changes in the economic and regulatory environment.
