DEBT MARKET UPDATE

In 2016 financial markets had to adjust to what were previously unthinkable scenarios and to political campaigns rich in promises and grand visions.

We anticipate 2017 will be a transitionary year as markets await evidence of governments delivering on their promises and the world “Stays Tuned” to the events ahead.

Borrowers with a well-planned and co-ordinated execution strategy will be best positioned to take advantage of the expected favourable market conditions for issuance and to withstand the pockets of volatility that will likely arise.

Cost-effective and diversified funding is crucial so every year CommBank publishes its Debt Market Update to help businesses navigate the global debt capital markets.

Now in its 14^th year of publication, the Debt Market Update reviews the events that impacted debt capital markets in the past year and outlines our outlook for the coming year.

Drawing on our Debt Market team’s expertise, the Debt Market Update shares our market-leading capabilities to explain the latest trends and developments in key capital markets.

In each update we identify the key themes and offer our insights to help deliver the best financing results for your business.
