Regional focus - Southern Europe

Southern Europe is increasingly touted as an attractive region for direct lending, with private credit deal volumes in Spain and Italy remaining strong despite M&A slowdowns across Europe in 2024, particularly in the lower-mid market. Direct lenders see opportunities for expansion in the region with its large number of SMEs, and as the traditionally dominating banks scale down activity and the number of bank consolidations increase. Our panel of regional experts will discuss:

  • What are some of the broader trends and shifts in the private credit sector within Southern Europe?
  • What does the deal pipeline look like in Southern Europe for direct lenders, and are there any particular sectors that are of interest?
  • What are the key issues for issuers and investors in the region?
  • What are the differences in the direct lending deal pipelines in Italy and Spain?
