LONDON, June 11, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Global ABS 2025 conference, held in Barcelona on 10-12 June, opened to a record 5,000+ registered attendees, including over 2,000 issuers and investors, as well as a full programme. The conference celebrated its 29th anniversary as the largest annual European structured finance conference and is hosted by the Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME).

Day 1 panels featured market updates on asset-backed securities (ABS), collateralised loan obligations (CLO), commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), nonperforming loans (NPL), and more. Other discussions included broader topics such as regulation and synthetic risk transfer (SRT) securities, including several plenary sessions.
