Current Situation and Objective

The rapidly growing market for corporate debt raises key questions about the sources of value and the risks associated with debt financing. The recent outbreak of Covid-19 has put forward new risks and vulnerabilities, leading to new questions. Should the market for corporate debt keep going despite the Covid-19 crisis? If so, should we change something? What are the benefits, costs and risks associated with debt financing? The Master Class on “Debt Financing, Risk, and Value” provides an in-depth understanding of the value drivers and risks in debt financing with a special focus on the effects of the Covid outbreak on the risks faced by lenders.
