Data Insight Geopolitical uncertainty in the fourth quarter cooled loan market issuance in the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific (APAC) regions, but not enough to significantly impair 23% year-on-year (YoY) growth, according to Dealogic data. During a year when loan markets responded to interest-rate cuts in most major economies around the world, high volumes in 2024 have been based largely on refinancing existing leveraged debt.

Data Insight This year has seen an impressive return to form for bond markets globally, as the Ukraine crisis and its after-effects hampered activity over the past two years. More than USD 8.75trn has flowed from investors into the coffers of issuers so far this year, according to Dealogic data. That is only narrowly down on the record years of 2021 and 2022, and up around 30% year-on-year (YoY).

Data Insights Last year’s loan issuance in the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific was poor, standing 9.3% below the 2018-23 average, but there are few signs of a revival thus far in 2024. Combined issuance in the three regions reached USD 1.08trn in 1Q24 year to date (YTD), close to 1Q23’s USD 1.17trn, yet this remains less than the first-quarter results in every year since 2018.
