Corporate Fund Raising: The Rise of Privately Placed Debt and ECBs
Corporate Fund Raising Trends
Corporate fund raising is increasingly dominated by privately placed debt and External Commercial Borrowings (ECBs), which offer lower costs compared to traditional equity funds. Companies are making strategic choices in financing, leveraging lower interest payments to enhance their capital structures.
Why Privately Placed Debt?
- Flexibility in terms
- Reduced interest rates
- Speed of execution
The Impact of ECBs
- Enhanced liquidity for corporates.
- Broader investor base attracted by fixed returns.
- Strategic funding for international expansions.
As corporate fund raising strategies evolve, the shift towards cheaper funding sources like privately placed debt and ECBs not only reflects current market dynamics but also signals a growing preference for minimizing costs associated with traditional equity financing. Surpassing equity fund issuance trends indicates a significant evolution in how companies are accessing capital.
