You're invited to this closed-door session hosted by Highland Europe. The event will bring together a curated group of senior decision-makers across the credit ecosystem to confront one of the most pressing questions in today’s markets: how do you position when the rules of global trade and leverage are being rewritten in real time?

In an environment defined by policy volatility, tariff shockwaves, and rising geopolitical uncertainty, traditional credit frameworks are being tested. From the return of Trump-era trade dynamics to potential sector-specific distress, this discussion will explore how market leaders are reassessing credit risk, adjusting their strategies, and finding practical ways to navigate a shifting landscape.
