Structured Credit
February 17, 2022

DBRS Morningstar invites you to attend a webinar focusing on the risks to European structured credit transactions two years into the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic on 24 February 2022 at 2:00 p.m. GMT, 3:00 p.m. CET, or 9:00 a.m. EST. The webinar will be hosted by Mudasar Chaudhry, Head of European Structured Finance Research. Chaudhry will be joined by Carlos Silva, Head of European Structured Credit and Alfonso Candelas, Head of European Structured Finance Surveillance.

The discussion will focus on the uneven impact of the pandemic on certain sectors over the past two years. In our May 2020 commentary titled “European Structured Credit Transactions' Risk Exposure to Coronavirus (COVID-19) Effect” (https://www.dbrsmorningstar.com/research/361098/european-structured-credit-transactions-risk-exposure-to-coronavirus-covid-19-effect), we highlighted how the pandemic would likely affect some economic sectors unevenly and provided a list of the sectors we identified as having the highest perceived sensitivity to the pandemic. We have now updated this commentary and reduced the number of industry sectors as the pandemic-induced volatility continues to abate. Our updated commentary, “Two Years into COVID-19: Risks to European Structured Credit Transactions” is available at https://www.dbrsmorningstar.com/research/392167.

The discussion will last approximately 30 minutes and will be followed by an interactive question-and-answer session. DBRS Morningstar welcomes all who wish to participate.
