The Bottom Line. Non-performing loans (NPL)

Episode 9


In Episode 9 our hosts, together with the structured finance
experts Lucy Sidey and Tom Quoroll from London and Barbara Lauer
from our German structured finance team, delve into the
non-performing loans (NPL) market. They explore the history and
key drivers of the European NPL market, highlighting the variance
in market activity across different regions and the increasing
regulatory pressures prompting banks to sell these assets. The
discussion further addresses the typical structure of NPL
transactions, noting the localization of laws and market-driven
strategies, as well as the potential impact of the new European
NPL directive on future transactions. The episode also touches
upon emerging legal and commercial trends, such as M&A
activity and forward flow arrangements, which are expected to
shape the NPL market in the future.
