Improving liquidity, efficiency and transparency in the primary and secondary syndicated loan markets in EMEA
LMA Hub
Our key objective is improving liquidity, efficiency and transparency in the primary and secondary loan markets in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). By establishing sound, widely accepted market practice, we seek to promote the loan as one of the key debt products available to borrowers across the region.
As the authoritative voice of the loan market in EMEA, we work with lenders, law firms, borrowers and regulators to educate the market about the benefits of the loan product, and to remove barriers to entry for new participants.
Since the establishment of the LMA in 1996, our membership has grown steadily and currently stands at 850+ organisations covering 65+ countries, comprising commercial and investment banks, institutional investors, law firms, service providers and rating agencies.
We work in five main areas: documentation, market practice and guidance, loan operations, education, and dialogue with legislators and regulators.
