CREFC Announces 2024 Capital Markets Conference
August 14, 2024
NEW YORK, Aug. 14, 2024 – The CRE Finance Council (CREFC), the trade association that exclusively represents the nearly $6 trillion commercial and multifamily real estate finance industry, is pleased to announce its September 18, 2024, Capital Markets Conference in New York City.
This one-day event features a series of panels examining a wide range of issues top of mind for commercial real estate (CRE) finance market participants who have managed a protracted period of elevated interest rates, a rapidly evolving regulatory environment, and an array of unique challenges that impact income-producing properties.
The Conference features seasoned market professionals who will detail how the industry is managing a sizable wall of CRE debt maturities. Today’s challenges are particularly acute given a still elevated rate environment and uncertainty surrounding CRE property valuations. Panelists will focus on key servicing issues in today’s challenging markets, such as refinancing commercial mortgages at today’s substantially higher mortgage rates relative to the original loan. Other key topics include borrowers’ search for alternative sources of liquidity. Attendees will learn about the health of the securitized market, the role of debt funds, and how changes in regulations, notably Basel III, impact bank lending, and general market liquidity.
Featured panels include:
- Wall of Maturities – Fact or Fiction
- State of the Market: Servicer Perspective
- Bank Balancing Act: Challenges and Opportunities for Lending
- Out of the Shadows? Nonbank Lending in Today’s Economy
- New Issue Roundtable: State of the Securitized Market
When: September 18, 2024
