Europe’s sovereign borrowers face a dramatically changed environment, with the return of inflation, rising rates, the end of quantitative easing and conflict on the continent. This event brings together the three leading issuers of the European Union – Next Generation EU, the European Investment Bank and KfW – to discuss how they are managing their borrowing programmes in the context of these challenges, bringing them together with leading investors and other European sovereign issuers. It also explores how the launch of the Next Generation EU’s €800bn borrowing programme has impacted Europe’s debt markets, 15 months after it was launched.
