Private Credit
Asia
Singapore
Private credit has become one of the fastest-growing parts of the global loan market in recent years, up to US$1.4 trillion globally and US$90 billion in APAC alone in 2022. New private debt fund launches are running at a record pace as banks and the public markets become more cautious in their lending activity, and private credit steps up to fill the void. What does this rapid growth mean for lenders and borrowers in Asia Pacific? Where will the additional liquidity be deployed? Join us at DealCatalyst’s inaugural Private Credit | ASIA Conference to connect with local allocators and global credit funds to learn about developments in the APAC region’s private credit markets.
