The International Schuldschein Forum will reconvene this March 2019 in Frankfurt for its seventh consecutive year amid a pivotal moment in the growth and future prospects of this originally German, but now rapidly internationalising debt instrument.

2018 has been a year of two halves for Schuldschein deals. Third quarter issuance totalled 8.3bn euros - more than the entirety of the first half of the calendar year combined. What began more than ten years ago as a safe, steady investment product for local German 'Sparkassen' has morphed into funding vehicle for European corporates large and small; for bank investors and asset managers; and with deals arranged by an increasingly diverse club of international banks. Euromoney Conferences provides the definitive meeting spot for anyone active or considering joining the market.
