Josh Shipley, Executive Managing Director and Head of Private Credit for Europe comments; "The first half of the year saw varied activity across strategies and regions, with some notable transactions across corporate financing, direct lending, and infrastructure.

Borrowers and sponsors are navigating a complex environment shaped by geopolitical tensions, inflation, and shifting supply chains. There’s growing interest for local-for-local production models, diversified funding sources, and long-term partnerships with non-bank lenders."
