SSA Funding Conference
17th March 2010, Thomson Reuters HQ, London
Sovereign, supranational and agency borrowing in 2010 is likely to increase to meet public borrowing demands, promising greater issuance and investor volumes, even as the supply of government guaranteed paper diminishes. Just how borrowers and investors have shifted their outlook after the guaranteed era and how SSA issuance and trading will play out in 2010 is the subject of IFR's new SSA Funding Conference, where market participants including leading bond houses and borrowers will illuminate key challenges and ways forward for this core asset class.

- Essential state of the market - analysis post credit crisis
