The conference will encompass a range of significant topics for discussion, including the latest trends in regional banking, the potential impact of higher interest rates and inflation, and the implications of new regulations. Additionally, there will be focused discussions on the evolving bank regulatory landscape, the assessment of interest rate risk, the management of capital and liquidity, as well as the identification of rising risks in the commercial real estate sector. Moody's outlook for commercial real estate performance will be presented, shedding light on how lenders are adapting to the increasing risks in this sector, with particular emphasis on the office segment and the exploration of opportunities for growth. Another key area of focus will be the evaluation of evolving risks and opportunities in private credit, examining Moody's outlook for private credit originators, including Business Development Companies (BDCs).
