The LSTA continues to expand its offering of LSTA legal product for cross border transactions with borrowers in Latin America. In 2017, the LSTA published LSTA Cross-Border Confirm and Form of Participation Agreement for settling trades of loans made to borrowers in Chile, Colombia, and Peru and in 2018 it expanded this to include borrowers in Mexico. All members are welcome to join the working group.
Interested parties should contact Bridget Marsh or Tess Virmani for further information.
Membership in the LSTA offers numerous benefits and opportunities. Chief among them is the opportunity to participate in the decision making process that ultimately establishes loan market standards, develops market practices, and influences the market’s direction.
