Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The financing deals offered significantly tighter interest margins than the companies' previous loans, reflecting a broader trend of pricing compression in the Australian syndicated loan market. Deal-weighted average margins fell to 209.62bp this year, while investment-grade credits are paying an average margin of 121.68bp this year.
