Moody’s Talks – Corporate Finance Podcast
DECEMBER 2017
December 5th 2017(8.33mins)
In our inaugural corporate finance podcast, Philipp Lotter, Co-Head of EMEA Corporate Finance, and William Coley, Group Credit Officer in Credit Strategy & Standards, discuss the driving factors behind the positive outlook for EMEA non-financial companies in 2018. They outline the supportive macroeconomic backdrop, including rising commodities prices, the stabilization of China’s growth, and the benign impact of US trade policy; whether the consistently positive views at the industry and company level will translate into upgrades in the year ahead; and the expectations for default rates for the sector.
