3rd Annual Securitisation and Structured Finance Conference- Middle East

 

While global markets have languished from the effects of the credit crunch, the launch of Sorouh Real Estate’s $1.1 billion securitisation sukuk is the clearest signal to date of the robustness of capital markets in the Middle East. With infrastructure projects requiring $1.3 trillion of funding by 2012, and a property prices rising in Dubai by 78 percent in the first quarter of 2008, the Middle East is experiencing an unprecedented construction boom. As infrastructure developers, private equity houses and local banks look to tap into lower-cost funding and recycle their balance sheets, the region is rife with opportunities for investment bankers and lawyers to arrange and structure transactions.

Euromoney Seminars’ 3rd Annual Securitisation and Structured Finance in the Middle East Conference will be your chance to hear firsthand from the region’s most prolific borrowers about their funding strategies, investors’ views and appetite for local debt products, and from leading bankers and lawyers on the very latest sukuk and securitisation deal structures.

Key issues to be discussed include:

A regional perspective on what’s happening globally – market outlook for 2009 and beyond
How is the Middle East oil money being recycled and how will this impact local capital markets?
Products, spreads and currency – what are investors’ criteria when looking at a structured finance deal?
What are the strategies of local borrowers in light of current market conditions and how does securitisation fit into wider funding strategies of corporates?
When will GCC private equity firms look to utilise the international debt markets to recycle their acquisitions and what is their appetite for securitisation?
Financing the Middle East’s burgeoning infrastructure sector with securitisation – what is current equity sponsor and investor appetite?
Heralding a new dawn for real estate investment and financing – why real estate investment trusts (REITs)
What are regulators’ views on off-balance sheet transactions?
How have sukuk and securitisation structures evolved following AAOIFI's ruling on purchase undertaking?
