Late 2006 and early 2007 saw a stock market slowdown or ‘market correction’ in the Middle East that negatively affected trading activities and IPO proliferation. The most visible impact of this stock market slowdown is the significant boom of debt issuance; as companies continue to grow and the stock market loses steam, debt issuance soars.
Debt issuance in the UAE in 2007 was up 350% from the previous year and this can be directly attributed to the ‘market correction’ experienced at this time. With a change in focus in the market, it is valuable for finance professionals and capital market experts to have a broad understanding of the debt market.
IIR’s Debt Capital Markets BootCamp is a comprehensive training programme encompassing both conventional and Islamic debt market instruments making this event, the one-stop-shop for understanding the regional debt capital market.
