The Global Borrowers & Investors Forum

“Again, this year’s Euromoney Conference offered an excellent opportunity in challenging times to exchange views, ideas and expectations about today’s environment in our financial markets.”
Carl Heinz Daube, Managing Director, German Finance Agency

The Global Borrowers & Investors Forum will take place on Tuesday 19 and Wednesday 20 June 2012. For 20 years, the Forum has been the must-attend event for the primary debt markets. Bringing together 800 of the world’s biggest and most important issuers and bond buyers, the Forum remains the place to meet the market – to see and be seen.
The consequences of a Greek default are unknown. But in the meantime bond markets continue to display remarkable resilience. These were the messages of the 2011 Forum. At the 2012 Forum, we will convene to re-examine the impact of the spreading public debt crisis on international debt markets. If you would like to find out more about how your activities will be affected and how best to navigate these uncertain times, come and join us next June in London.
