Impact of Rate Hikes on Restructuring Market

The Federal Reserve's consistent rate hikes and significant increases in rates have led to a higher cash interest burden for companies, limiting their ability to invest in operations and capital improvements. As a result, businesses with tightening liquidity need to be proactive in making decisions and allocating capital. This is expected to lead to a pickup in restructuring activity in the distress market through 2023 and 2024, with companies in sectors like retail and healthcare facing more signs of distress.
