Financing Leaders: Accessing Capital, Exploring the Role of the Debt vs Equity, and the IPO Market

 

Financing leaders will analyze the impact of the macroeconomic environment on M&A and dealmaking in APAC, exploring whether valuations are becoming more realistic and what the future holds for the region. We’ll examine financing opportunities such as IPOs, REIT listings, equity fundraising, and debt options that TowerCos and data centre operators are pursuing, while also exploring how access to financing, interest rates, and FX exposure are influencing growth plans.

 

  • How damaging has the macroeconomic environment been to M&A and dealmaking in APAC? What does the future hold for the region? Are valuations becoming more realistic?  
  • What financing opportunities, such as IPOs, REIT listings, equity fundraising, or debt options including project and Holdco-level loans, are TowerCos and DC operators pursuing to support growth?
  • How is access to financing influencing growth plans in the region? What is the impact of interest rates and managing FX exposure? Are funds providing private credit beginning to take material market share from traditional lending banks?  
  • To what extent is green financing a key aspect of investors plans?  
  • What is the approach to growth via M&A as opposed through greenfield/brownfield development across APAC?
