EMEA lending falls 9%

摘要

Syndicated lending in Europe, the Middle East and Africa fell 9% to US$610bn in the first three quarters of 2017 compared with the same period last year. Global economic and political turmoil hit appetite for loans in European high-grade and the emerging markets, but leveraged loan volume of US$176.87bn in the first nine months of the year is at its highest level since the financial crisis, despite the lowest third-quarter volume since 2012.
