The CEE corporate loans market faces its most challenging time, as sanctions imposed on the Russian market have deeply dented deal volumes throughout the region. However, local liquidity remains very strong, with corporates across the region financing themselves from both local and international lenders. In Turkey, financial institutions and borrowers are finding innovative ways of financing their operations. Prominent players from both lenders and borrowers will gather in Vienna to discuss these issues and more. The agenda combines region-focused panels on Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Russia, with sector-focused sessions on Real Estate and Export Finance. Vienna stalwarts like Eric Zimny (SMBC), Penny Smith (Commerzbank) and Jan Nyvlt (CSOB) will participate alongside new speakers, such as Yuri Lekarev (Otkritie), George Aase (PointPark Properties) and Bülent Beydüz (Erdemir). An old Euromoney Seminars favourite, this conference offers unparalleled access to key industry figures – with Vienna’s Christmas market to frequent in the meantime! “ Great source Please let me know if you have any questions about the agenda, and if you have an interest in of information speaking at or sponsoring the event, I’m happy to help with your queries. on what is I look forward to welcoming you to the Vienna Marriott Hotel in November! going on in the syndicated Best regards, markets in CEE” George Khachadourian Dr. Amichia Biley, DEG +44 (0)20 7779 8060 [email protected] Key speakers include: Andrew Moses Marcin Kasinski Penny Smith Head of Loan Syndicate Executive Director, Debt Head of EM Corporate and Sales, Optimisation and Distribution Loan Origination “ Attendance is a KBC Credit Agricole CIB Commerzbank must for all CEE players” Dr. Agnes Molnar, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer Eva Smolen Marina Kareeva George Aase Director, Syndicated Finance Director, Capital Issuance and Chief Financial Officer ING Bank Funding Department PointPark Properties Promsvyazbank ■ Sponsorship ■ Registration ■ Speakers ■ ■ ■ ■ Jon Fleming ■ Venice Evangelista ■ George Khachadourian ■ +44 (0) 20 7779 8940 ■ +44 (0)20 7779 7222 ■ +44 (0)20 7779 8060 ■ [email protected] ■ [email protected] ■ [email protected] #CEELOANS15 www.euromoneyseminars.com/CEELoans Syndicated Loans 19th & 20th November 2015 CEE Conference Vienna Marriott Hotel, Austria Attendee breakdown: In 2014, the 11th Annual Syndicated Loans CEE Conference had over 185 attendees from 21 countries and 86 companies.
