The Global Borrowers and Investors Forum lives up to its name. The discussions that took place both on and off the stage were fruitful and insightful, with all the main names and faces coming together to analyse current issues.

Alvaro López Barceló

The Global Borrowers conference provided a wonderful opportunity to meet other market participants and share diverse opinions on a variety of market conditions. The panel discussion was excellent and I wish we could have stayed another 30 minutes to discuss. Thank you to all the conference organisers for putting together the event.
