This edition of Loans Magazine provides LSTA members with valuable content on the latest developments in the syndicated loan market and beyond. It begins with LSTA Executive Director, Lee Shaiman’s letter to membership followed by an article that explores various shifts to the geopolitical environment and the possible implications for the loan market. We continue with coverage on the LIBOR transition (including the LSTA’s SOFR concept document) and an analysis of the current regulatory landscape and the makeup of the 117^th Congress.  We then turn to LSTA operational and legal initiatives along with a new look at resolving financial disputes through mediation.  Finally, we discuss the record year in the secondary loan market and provide a deep dive into the future of sustainable lending.
