The world has changed over the past 12 months. Oil prices are consistently lower, markets have become more volatile and there is ongoing concern about global growth. The region’s banking sector is not immune and as events play out, there is a growing expectation that access to long-tenor dollar liquidity may become more difficult in the future. This IPFA event will evaluate the views of some leading project sponsors’ and potential responses from the financial community: banking and non-banking players.
