Sterling Covered Bond Issuers Roundtable (September 2024)
A year filled with elections encouraged UK banks to do their covered bond funding early. The election in their own country passed without incident in July but there was still much for them to consider for the rest of the year and beyond — from fresh government policy, to rising demand for mortgages, and sources of liquidity. GlobalCapital gathered senior funding officials from major UK lenders in September to discuss all of this and more.
