Exploring Demand and Issuance in the Investment-Grade Credit Market

Flavio Carpenzano, fixed income investment director at Capital Group, joins Burhan Khadbai, head of content for OMFIF’s Sovereign Debt Institute, to look back at the performance of the investment grade credit market in 2024 and the outlook for next year.

They discuss how credit spreads are continuing to compress despite elevated levels of supply and to what extent this will evolve as markets move into a lower yield environment with the easing of monetary policy. The discussion also looks at the opportunities in IG credit and the risks for the sector from the volatility in rates driven by macroeconomic and geopolitical factors.
