Private Credit Quarterly Webinar
Private credit growth is broadening globally, driven by AI and infrastructure spending in Europe and increasing collaboration between private lenders and banks across APAC.
AI is creating a new era of financing demand, opening private credit to larger borrowers, new asset classes and more complex structures around the world. But beneath the growth story, refinancing pressures, rising complexity and mounting stress among weaker borrowers are beginning to emerge in the US.
Join Moody's Ratings analysts as we discuss:
- AI, data centers and the next wave of private credit growth
- The rise of insurer capital and structured private credit solutions
- Hidden risks in increasingly complex financing structures
- What the 2027-29 maturity wall means for borrowers and lenders
- Early signs of stress across middle-market credit and BDCs
