Leveraged Debt Markets and ABL in the First Half of 2023
In this episode, host Barry Bobrow is joined by his friends Maria Dikeos and CJ Doherty of Refinitiv for a timely and detailed discussion of leveraged debt markets for the first half of 2023. As Maria and CJ point out, deal flow has been negatively impacted by the slowing economy and higher interest rates. Broadly syndicated volume is down significantly in 2023 vs 2022. However, the market is still active and is showing recent signs of strength on numerous transactions. They also discuss the dramatic expansion of direct lending. The conversation finishes up with a detailed overview of the asset-based lending market in the first half of the year. This episode makes extensive use of data slides.
