LMA releases results of its 2022 Developing Markets Survey
27 April 2022As part of the run up to our Developing Markets Conference being held today in London and online for all our members around the world, we surveyed our membership on the opportunities and challenges facing increasingly active developing market jurisdictions.
The survey covered questions pertinent to all developing market jurisdictions and then specific questions for Africa and MENA. The survey aimed to determine where the key investment opportunities and challenges lie, which sectors are most likely to drive future growth and which factors will be most important in developing the loan market within these jurisdictions.
