Uncertainty is the new normal. Access to financing is unreliable and interest rates are high, commodities and product markets are disrupted by war and other geopolitical forces, governments are responding with sanctions and tightened FDI controls, new risks are spreading globally at a high speed. This panel is going to look for best solutions available in all phases of the dealmaking process, from pre-signing to post-closing. We will ask questions, such as how to bridge the valuation gap and manage other target risks, on-source financing creatively, prepare the deal terms and process to address regulatory risks and hurdles, and turn uncertainty into opportunity.
