European non-financial corporates continue to navigate a complex environment shaped by evolving deal activity and shifting consumer dynamics. While M&A activity is gradually recovering, execution risks, valuation gaps, and financing conditions remain key determinants of credit outcomes. At the same time, food retailers provide a real-time lens into consumer resilience, trading patterns and margin pressures across Europe.


Join us for our quarterly European Corporate Finance webinar, where we explore the developments that matter most today.

Discussion topics include:

  • What are the key drivers underpinning the current recovery in European M&A activity?
  • Which sectors are likely to see the most meaningful deal flow, and what are the implications for credit quality?
  • How are financing conditions and private equity behaviour shaping transaction dynamics?
  • Will a more flexible EU merger framework unlock telecom consolidation and improve credit quality across the sector?
  • What do food retailers reveal about the strength and segmentation of European consumer demand?
  • How are pricing strategies, cost inflation and competition affecting margins and credit profiles in the sector?
  • What are the broader implications for corporate strategy and rating trajectories?
  • How are competition, new mobility trends, and loan performance rising arrears shaping credit dynamics in European consumer finance?
