Taking place at a stunning new venue in the centre of London, the first edition of the Global NPL conference attracted more than 450 high-level delegates and 50+ sponsors from around the globe.
On behalf of the entire SmithNovak team, a special thanks to all the companies that took the time and effort to travel to London to make this such a special event!
In China, new regulations are pushing the banks to deleverage, the banking regulator having recently told the nation's major banks to accelerate the recognition of NPLs. This will add another 50-70bn yuan to the existing stock of 2 trillion yuan ($300bn).
Foreign Investors are currently not allowed to buy directly from Banks but instead, are able to buy pre-serviced portfolios of corporate loans from an existing community of state-run AMCs. At the very beginning of its NPL cycle and with stocks set to amount to more than the entire stock of European NPLs, the interest in China is huge.
