Global market view as rates inflection point looms
Thinking in global markets is turning hard to the nature of the looming inflection point for monetary policy. Central banks may not cut, or at least not far, unless the pain being felt in global economies metastasises into unemployment and other symptoms of spare capacity. Despite this uncertainty – and many others – issuers were able to make hay in H1, including in an Australian market that has experienced unprecedented scale and consistency of demand. Participants at the annual ANZ-KangaNews global funding roundtable, which took place in London in June, surveyed the landscape.
SSA sector stays on the cutting edge of sustainability and DE&I
In October 2023, KangaNews and UBS hosted female leaders from the supranational, sovereign and agency sector – live in Sydney and via VC globally – at a roundtable to discuss the state of capital markets and the role of these institutions in promoting sustainability and diversity, equity and inclusion.
Near-term headwinds and supportive fundamentals in New Zealand
The New Zealand capital market is working its way through regulatory changes and awaiting certainty on the turn of the rates cycle. But domestic and international high-grade market participants who joined a roundtable discussion hosted by KangaNews and Westpac in July say the direction of travel is largely positive.
Myriad global inputs deliver positive outlook for fixed income
Every year, ANZ and KangaNews gather global market participants at a roundtable in London to discuss the state of play in fixed-income issuance and investment. The 2023 discussion, which took place in mid-June, took in the growing appeal of the asset class, dynamics that are reshaping currency and tenor of issuance, and ever-growing scrutiny in sustainable finance.
Finance and the heavy lifting of sustainable transition
The KangaNews Sustainable Debt Summit 2023 featured its most wide-ranging agenda ever, taking in hot button topics across the sustainable finance landscape. Sessions covered carbon offsetting and trading, the rise of biodiversity as a focus area, the shift from mitigation finance to also include adaptation, as well as a raft of other critical areas of concern.
