What does economist and BRG Managing Director Dr. Albert Metz think will happen with today’s debt maturity wall? “The wall will be pushed out, as it always is, as firms refinance. How far out may reflect interest-rate expectations. If there is an expectation that rates will fall, firms may prefer to issue shorter-term debt so they can refinance in more favorable conditions. If there is an expectation that rates will remain high (or go higher), then smart firms will lock in longer-term debt, even at current rates.” Read more in our Q&A with Dr. Metz in the latest issue of ThinkSet magazine >>> https://lnkd.in/gcUxhnc2 #debt #interestrates #businessinsights #thinkset

The BRG APAC team had an incredible time at the 2024 Singapore Convention Week, filled with insightful conversations and valuable networking opportunities. We kicked off with Phillip Solomon at the ACICA45 event, where panelists from Vena Energy, White & Case LLP, and Omni Bridgeway discussed emerging issues in renewables and alternative fuels. Erick Gunawan, Vorapong Sutanont, and attawat prongmake then led a "Cyber Wargame" workshop, tackling real-time simulated cyberattacks and defense strategies. Shifting from the energy and technology landscapes, Calvin Qiu, alongside speakers from A&O Shearman and Walkers, brought forward a compelling discussion on M&A disputes trends and landscape. To wrap up the fruitful week in the Garden City, we indulged in some mandatory chili crabs! Thank you to everyone who joined us, and see you next year!

Mark Renzi and Brett Witherell, CFA's infographic for ThinkSet magazine helps business leaders get a sense of where things stand.
