Special Issue "Credit Markets & Credit Risk Management"

Dear Colleagues,

Over the last two decades, the global business field has experienced extraordinary events, such as the global financial crisis, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical risks. In a post-COVID world with high inflation and uncertainty, financial market participants, including issuers, intermediaries, and investors, are adapting their business models to these changing conditions. Simultaneously, financial market structure changes, regulatory reforms, and technological advances have significantly impacted and shaped debt financing markets.

This Special Issue aims to present current theoretical and empirical research on credit markets and credit risk management, including innovative studies on bank and non-bank lending, credit risk analysis techniques, and the influence of ESG policies on credit risk management. Understanding these advancements is crucial for financial system stability, given the critical role of credit risk management for financial intermediaries.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Debt Financing;
• Option-Adjusted Spreads;
• Credit risk and liquidity risk;
• ESG and credit risk;
• Credit risk management;
• Shadow banking;
• Private credit;
• Sovereign debt;
• Securitization and structured products.
