“Cycle concerns and interest rate expectations can change the supply-and-demand balance for variable-rate lending in general. But in the middle market, deals can be direct and tailored, and less influenced by short-term headline pressures.” Fitch Research (November 2019)
Over the past years, the problem of non-performing loans facing commercial banks in Greece has created a new environment for financing as well as acquisition opportunities for international investors and lenders. While recent government support and covid led – payments moratoria have given breathing air to many middle market players, healthy SMEs still face limited access to long term funding, while their leveraged peers are struggling with debt restructuring and new money funding issues.
