Barclays Brief Private credit: Hidden interconnectivity
Recent high-profile bankruptcies have put private credit in the headlines. In this episode, Peter Troisi explains how private credit is weaving itself into the financial system – linking banks, insurers, non-bank financial institutions and business development companies. These connections create new funding channels and opportunities but also introduce potential hidden systemic risks. We break down what these linkages mean for stability, transparency and the future of credit markets.
Tune in to get the brief on why today’s narratives around private credit and comparisons to 2008 deserve a closer look.
