In today’s environment, understanding domestic credit market conditions is critical as liquidity, pricing, and covenant structures continue to evolve.
KPMG’s Debt Market Update provides a snapshot of credit market activity debt trends and insights, and their implications for Australian companies.
The update also explores the sector-specific dynamics shaping borrowing strategies. Our debt market insights can help Australian companies anticipate market movements and optimise their capital structures.
We typically outline indicators such as:
- market indices showing current pricing of rated debt instruments
- interest rate curves demonstrating the underlying cost of debt and forecast changes
- levels of debt issuance and associated commentary
- notable debt issuances, and level of issuance, in the debt capital and syndicated loan markets
- ESG linked debt instruments – notable transactions and volumes.

The gap between the cash rate and the swap curves is now the highest it has been over the last two years.
