Bangkok--19 Feb--Fitch Ratings
Further to the publication of Fitch Ratings' 2009 Global Infrastructure & Project Finance Outlook report, analysts from its EMEA team will be hosting a teleconference on Thursday 19 February, 15:00 GMT to discuss key EMEA trends from the report.
In the report, Fitch says that the Outlooks for global infrastructure and project finance sectors and regions will be more convergent in 2009, with less differentiation than last year, as the economic downturn now appears to be globally synchronised and severe.
The teleconference will be chaired by Christopher Thorpe, Managing Director and Credit Officer for Fitch's Global Infrastructure & Project Finance group (GIG), who will be joined by colleagues Dan Robertson (Energy, Oil & Gas), Nicolas Painvin (Transport, Social/Leisure) and Guillaume Langellier (Whole Business Securitisation).
The discussion will be followed by a question and answer session - questions can be submitted in advance to: [email protected]
The 18 February report, entitled "Global Infrastructure & Project Finance Outlook 2009," is available on the agency's public website, www.fitchratings.com
