Description
In this panel discussion we look at the growing role in non-bank financial institutions such as tech companies, credit funds, asset managers and insurers are playing in providing credit to the real economy and the financial sector. The panel will consider both opportunities and challenges this poses for the financial markets, including the impact it has on traditional players, how it might change both the mix of debt and the attractiveness of debt that is available (both private debt and public capital markets), and whether the rise of these alternative financiers poses a threat to financial stability.
