Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking recently organized its first international SSA conference, which took place at its headquarters in Paris. 🌍 Amidst a more volatile market environment, discussions focused on important topics such as: - Liquidity 📈 in which panelists determined that liquidity can’t be directly observed and uniquely defined but believe that the main characteristics should result from the supply versus demand and the capacity to execute a trade at a low cost with a limited impact on market prices. Liquidity can also come at a cost. In order to discuss this topic, the speakers created an ‘ecosystem’ including Issuer, Investor and liquidity accelerators representing the infrastructure such as Market Maker, Intermediation and Dealing desk. - ESG crisis management 🌱 where speakers reacted to market turmoil caused by the undue ESG downgrading of a major green bond issuer, discussed taxonomy alignment claims and demonstration streamlining, and addressed ways of handling the various aspects of a just transition. Over 150 attendees representing 28 issuers and 56 investors attended the conference, seeing fantastic interactions between issuers, investors, and the various Natixis CIB desks. 🙌 Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the success of this conference - we look forward to our next edition next year!
Congratulations on such a successful event 💚
