5th Annual Syndicated Loans CEE Conference
25 & 26 Nov 2008, InterContinental Wien, Vienna, Austria

Now in its 5th year, the Vienna Syndicated Loans Conference has firmly established itself as the most prominent syndicated loans event in the region and the best networking platform for loan market professionals operating in CEE, Russia, CIS, Turkey and associated markets.

2008 has certainly been a year of lenders' return to power. How do borrowers perceive the new reality? Will the seek alternatives to loans or accept the new rules of the game? Does CEE represent a hedge against volatility in the western markets or is it still a risky environment?

Again, the Vienna event is a big finish to the year and an epicenter of the most topical issues of the current market.

MLAs panel discussion: Evolution of structures - what to expect in the next 12 months?
Defining new pricing benchmarks - comparing corporate and FI borrowers perspectives
Project financing in CEE - corporate demand on the rise
Focus on Russia, Turkey, Ukraine as primary sources of this year's deal flow
Identifying investor priorities in the new credit environment

4th Annual Syndicated Lending in the GCC
December 3 & 4, 2008, Jumerirah Beach Hotel, Dubai

In the first half of 2008 the GCC was the only EMEA market to record an increase in borrowing. This follows on from strong and steady growth over the last 5 years.

As such, regional and international MLAs and interestingly an ever growing number of Asian banks are increasingly turning their attention to the region. To match this interest, IBC conferences have produced the 4th annual syndicated lending in the GCC.

With local banks largely untouched by the sub-prime crisis and a regional economy buoyed up by high commodity prices and strong GDP growth the GCC market goes from strength to strength.

Attend this market leading conference to debate the pressing issues, explore the key markets, build your list of GCC contacts and prepare yourself to take advantage of the opportunities in the exciting region.

3 Major Themes for 2008

The explosive growth of corporate acquisition finance
Pricing in the GCC
The growth of Islamic finance

GCC corporate borrowers, buoyed by revenues generated from oil and strong economic growth at home, are beginning to cast their nets further afield in a corporate acquisition spree backed by debt finance. Since 2007 the market has shifted away from traditional project finance structures and syndicated lending in the GCC features a presentation from one of the leading lenders in this field.

Increasing bank funding costs, uncertainty over local currency de-pegging, dollar liquidity, competition from hedge funds and private equity and borrower perceptions of the market have all contributed to making pricing one of the key issues in the current climate.

Key topics to be discussed:

The effects of pricing on deal structures
The impact of pricing on borrower appetite
Pricing trends in primary & secondary
Where are the margins?
Finding a balance between borrowers and lenders
Wider capital markets impact on pricing
