CEEMEA pricing tumbles

摘要

Loan pricing is falling across the Central Europe Middle East and Africa (CEEMEA) region as demand for loans remains weak and underlent, and asset-hungry banks battling for business offer lower pricing to win scarce mandates. The fall in pricing correlates directly with a fall in CEEMEA dealflow. Volume for the year to date is 55% lower at US$47.7bn, compared with US$106.1bn at the same time last year, according to ThomsonReuters data.
