About the Event
Join the UCL Economic Tribune for an interactive discussion exploring one of the most important questions in today’s financial markets: why have corporate defaults remained so low for so long — and could that now be changing?
For over a decade, abundant liquidity and easy access to credit have helped keep borrowing costs low and defaults rare. At the same time, private credit has grown rapidly as a major source of corporate financing. But as financial conditions tighten and concerns around private credit increase, some investors believe this long period of suppressed defaults may finally be starting to crack.
This event will explore what these developments mean for markets, investors and the broader economy.
