KBRA Releases Global ABS 2026 Conference: Day 2 Recap

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA releases Day 2 recap of the Global ABS 2026 conference held on June 9-11.

The agenda for the second day of the Global ABS conference moved from the opening day’s focus on Europe’s securitisation scale-up challenge to how investors, lenders, and issuers are positioning for a more complex market backdrop. Geopolitics set the tone in the morning before discussions turned to relative value, private credit, and the use of structured funding tools to support growth. The afternoon broadened the lens across public and private credit markets, with sessions covering traditional and esoteric ABS sectors, regional securitisation opportunities in Saudi Arabia, Australia, India, and Southeast Asia, and the continued evolution of fund finance.
