Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking’s Post

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!  

🙌 Thank you and congratulations to our 14 committed volunteers from across APAC who took part in our 3rd volunteering trip to Cambodia as part of Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking, Natixis Investment Managers and Natixis Foundation’s APAC partnership with PSE-Pour un Sourire d'enfant  📝 Visits of the PSE facilities and community centers, participation to the PSE Environment Day, gardening, and of course lots of interactions with kids and students were all part of their active agenda on the ground! Additionally, a series of mock interviews were conducted by a few volunteers as part of a teaching program designed especially for Conference Week. 👨👧👦 Ahead of the trip, our APAC teams raised additional funds to support Eco-school ad-hoc projects and collected ~300 kg of in-kind donations, which were distributed to PSE children and families 👩👧👦 👏 Special thanks to our external partner GiFi who yet again very generously contributed to our APAC collection drive by donating extra in-kind items.  🌱 The 3-year partnership aimed to support PSE transitioning into an Eco-school, by implementing environmental practices and education on #sustainability. Thanks to their efforts, PSE received an Eco-Friendly Accreditation from Cambodia’s Minister of the Environment last October. #NatixisFoundation #CSR #Solidarity Bruno Le Saint Fabrice Chemouny Cécile T.

📌 A surprise podium finish emerged from the French General Elections, with a parliament dominated by the left coalition, followed by the presidential majority and, in third place, the far-right Rassemblement National, which the polls had predicted to be the relative majority. Will the so-far muted reaction of the markets persist over time? Will the new government manage to submit a budget to the parliament by October 1st? What are the forecasts for the French economy? The repercussions for Europe? 💡 Gain insights from Hadrien Camatte, Thibaut Cuillière, Nordine Naam, Emilie Tetard and Théophile Legrand from Natixis CIB Research : https://lnkd.in/eTT3AsYW
