  • WHILE INSURANCE securities issued as bonds have enjoyed the limelight, a market in derivative structures offering exposure to insurance risk is quietly flourishing in the shadows.
  • UK bankers have a love/hate relationship with the UK Private Finance Initiative. PFI is potentially a major source of business, with more than £1.5bn of contracts signed in the first eight months of 1998 and the prospect of a further £10 billion worth of deals in the next five years. But it is frustrating, time consuming and (arguably) low margin work.
  • While debt and equity capital markets professionals rue the time they started to believe in Russia's transformation, structured finance bankers are in two minds. Many of the top securitisation houses invested a lot of time and money competing for mandates from the country's biggest corporates and banks, only to see their plans ruined just weeks or months before they came to fruition.
  • Over the first half of 1998, Greece - or the Hellenic Republic as it has officially been known since 1994 - experienced both extremes of fortune in its visits to the international capital market.
  • "The Belgian securitisation market, although young, presents most of the characteristics of a mature European market," says Gaëlle Philippe-Viriot, assistant vice president and analyst at Moody's Investors Services in Paris. "A well adapted legal framework, a growing diversity of securitised assets and sellers, increased interest by large financial institutions and transaction structures that meet both investor demand and originator constraints."

  • The contraction in spreads between the Greek and the German government bond yield curves has been one barometer of the vastly improved prospects of a speedy Greek entry into Emu.
  • Until very recently, many investment bankers, investors and analysts almost refused to acknowledge the existence of Greece. The reason was simple enough: Greece was virtually impossible to compartmentalise.
  • The government-owned Mass Transit Rail Corporation (MTR Corporation) is Hong Kong's longest established issuer in the international markets and a major player in the domestic bond market. Although MTR Corporation has been hit by the downgrading of Hong Kong's sovereign credit in the wake of the Asian crisis, its spreads have remained more stable than most Asian credits in recent months - testimony to the strength of its investor base.
  • With $14.5bn of funding to do in 1999, the Republic of Argentina is the neediest Latin borrower.
  • As little as four years ago, European investors bought credit card securities out of the US and relatively little else.

In some segments of the asset-backed market, US issuers rely on European demand for as much as a half to two-thirds of placement. Is this transatlantic flow likely to continue?
