Debt Capital Markets Panel: Is It a Lender's or Borrower's Market?
In a slow growing economy, with few federal policy changes and a continued strong appetite from foreign capital to invest in U.S. Treasuries, how fast will the Federal Reserve move interest rates? Where should interest rates be to best position the Fed with a reasonable “toolbox” in advance of the next recession? With the re-emergence of CMBS and the surge of new debt funds, how are lenders differentiating themselves and how have regulatory requirements changed the landscape? What is on the horizon for 2018? Headlines suggest limited availability of construction debt, so who is fueling the significant development pipeline across the Boston metropolitan area?
Join us for an inside look at the evolving lending environment and mid-year interest rate forecast. An experienced panel of established lenders will delve into the practical impact of the Dodd-Frank Act, what is the CMBS segment like today versus pre-financial crises, which segment are debt funds most competitive, and whether rates will stay low due to an expansion of new sources of debt. At the same time, the panel will highlight key advantages of the urban and suburban Boston markets that foster strong debt capital markets.
