Corporate Schuldschein blossoms in 2014

摘要

Corporate Schuldschein issued in 2014 rose more than 50% to €12.1bn from €8bn in 2013, as borrowers took advantage of burgeoning institutional liquidity to tap the market at low interest rates, according to Thomson Reuters data. Last year saw a growth in both the corporate Schuldschein and incipient European private placement markets as investors looked to support medium-sized businesses, which were looking for alternative sources of funding after bank lending fell after the financial crisis.
