What is Corporate Debt Restructuring?
This two-day course deals with the background and resolution of debt restructuring issues and reviews techniques for limiting exposure.
As risk profiles and positions of debt holders change, creditors can become subject to transition or migration risk and find themselves holding distressed debt. The effects of downward migration range from a credit rating change to outright default or insolvency.
