#APLMA, in collaboration with #BakerMcKenzie, hosted a seminar on "Lending and Collateral Issues Facing Banks in South and Southeast Asia" on 7 November. The event began with opening remarks from Seraphim Ma, Managing Partner of Baker McKenzie’s Taipei office, and Matthew Liaw, APLMA Taiwan Committee Chair and EVP & Head of the Structured Finance Division at CTBC Bank. The seminar offered valuable insights into offshore lending, securing interests over shares and other assets, and key #legal and market developments across the region. The panel discussion further examined the challenges of selecting governing law and jurisdiction, focusing on issues critical to #banks. “We are delighted to work hand in hand with Baker McKenzie to organize this seminar for APLMA’s members in #Taiwan, with the aim of enriching their understanding of the opportunities and challenges in the South and Southeast Asian markets.” commented James Hogan, CEO of the APLMA. “According to insights from APLMA’s Taiwan Loan Market Conference held in June this year, Taiwan’s savings rate remains at a high level even after the COVID pandemic, providing considerable liquidity for the banking sector. Together with the strong financing demand in the South and Southeast Asian region, this presents a great opportunity for Taiwanese banks to expand their offshore lending footprint. As an industry association committed to fostering the sustainable development of the loan market in the Asia Pacific Region, APLMA looks forward to continuing our collaborations with regulators and various strategic partners, including Baker McKenzie, to facilitate knowledge exchange within the industry and the ongoing growth of loan markets as a crucial funding mechanism in the region.” For more details, read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/gHvjTbTgLearn more about the Taiwan market from the APLMA's 2024 Taiwan Loan Market Conference: https://lnkd.in/g88wn9N6Follow us on LinkedIn to stay tuned for future events!

Another perfect day in Beijing! It was fantastic to witness the enthusiasm amongst attendees at our #China Loan Market Conference. Wide-ranging discussions addressed current trends in M&A, "going out" financing for PRC companies, and promising market opportunities in China. The event also explored emerging trends in both onshore and offshore loan markets. Additionally, speakers highlighted #export & #credit #insurance, recent cases related to #restructuring and #insolvency, and the implications of the "Measures for the Management of the Syndicated Loan Business" recently introduced by the National Financial Regulatory Administration (NFRA). The day finished off with a fun and lively cocktail reception, emphasising the value of #networking. The success of this event was made possible through the support of our sponsors, speakers and key market players from China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom. We also applaud the massive contributions of our China Committee members (https://lnkd.in/gjBPQfbw). See you at the next event! 本会于11月6日在北京丽思卡尔顿酒店举办本年度中国银团贷款市场会议，吸引众多业界人士参与了此次盛会。会议重点以多角度讨论了并购市场趋势、中国企业“走出去”融资策略，以及中国市场的发展前景，并深入探讨了本地及离岸贷款市场的新趋势。演讲嘉宾和行业专家也重点分析了出口及信贷保险、近期重组和破产案例，以及国家金融监督管理总局新出台的“银团贷款业务管理办法”对行业的影响。会议后进行的鸡尾酒会也为一众与会者提供了互相交流的宝贵机会。 本会对所有参与本年度会议的演讲嘉宾和赞助商，以及来自多个市场的与会者（包括中国、香港、日本、新加坡、台湾、阿联酋及英国）表示衷心感谢。本会也特别鸣谢中国委员会所有成员 (https://lnkd.in/g9ef6CK8）。 Bank of China (Hong Kong) I King & Wood Mallesons Una Ge of AlixPartners | Yan Yang of ANZ I Lei Yang of Bank of China I Lillian SUN of Bank of China Limited Singapore Branch I Timothy Lee of Bank of China (Hong Kong) | Phyllis Ng of China Construction Bank (Asia) I Dan Dai of China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation I Christine Wong of China Hongqiao Group I Wen Cui of China Merchants Bank I Anita So of HSBC I Lei Fang of Crédit Agricole CIB I David Lam, Stanley zhou, Stella Wang and Feng Ma of King & Wood Mallesons I Zijie Liu of Ping An Bank Co., Ltd.
