Party over for cheap and ample corporate funding

Nordea Markets Insights EN

Picking up from an earlier Nordea On Your Mind report in 2019, Johan Trocmé and Viktor Sonebäck talk in this podcast about the inflation and interest rate shock in 2022 starting to reverse the decade-long trend of bonds replacing bank funding for Nordic large corporates. Is leverage a problem in the Nordic region? For all types of borrowers? How much could higher funding costs eat into corporate cash flows? Can bond maturities in the coming years be refinanced? Their advice from 2019 is even more valid today.
