FIRM OVERVIEW

Financing yourself in a (post) Crisis landscape?
• Surety of funding is lacking
• Renewed focus on credit risk due to economic downturn and increased sovereign risk
• Liquidity premiums are increasing
• Higher pricing and tighter borrowing covenants
DEBT CAPITAL MARKET DEVELOPMENTS
7
Implications of the Basel III banking framework
• Shift of focus: from asset side to liability side• Quality and size of banks’ core capital must increase, which results in higher capital
reserves
• Banks must disclose leverage ratios as of 2013• Also capital requirements for derivatives might increase, which leads to more expensive
products
DEBT CAPITAL MARKET DEVELOPMENTS
