PANEL - Funding: Who sets the terms – the bank or you?

Group funding is a core part of treasury and a core part of corporate banking. Why do funding negotiations often turn into a lengthy process, especially under time pressure? Are banks demanding more security than necessary, leaving corporates to manage compliance burdens and facing limited financial flexibility? And why do negotiations so often shift focus to less important issues – a ‘lawyers’ dance’ where everyone already knows how it will end? 

In this panel, representatives for banks and corporates will debate these questions, touching on whether the bank and its legal advisors are truly focused on the key points or if they’re contributing to unnecessary delays. Join us as we explore why these challenges arise and how they could be addressed.
