KBRA Releases 12 Things in Credit: January 2022

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA releases topical and timely commentary on credit markets, compiled from our weekly podcast, 3 Things in Credit, hosted by our Chief Strategist, Van Hesser. Among the wide-ranging issues Van has addressed over the past month are top risks to credit markets in 2022, the most important metric to creditors in the jobs report (hint: it’s not the unemployment rate), and developments in the all-important small to midsize business sector, which serves as a dependable proxy for economic growth.

The pandemic has dramatically reset the global economic and markets landscape as massive government intervention and fluid developments on the scientific front meet extreme valuations in markets. Each week, we dig into and provide perspective on issues credit-market participants care about. Tune in every Friday to Van’s podcast for the latest. And look for our monthly published recap to catch up on what you might have missed.
