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.

In this edition of Debt Market Update, we examine the Reserve Bank of Australia’s second consecutive 25bp rate rise, heightened volatility driven by geopolitical tensions, and the implications for swap rates, funding costs and credit spreads.
We also highlight recent corporate bond issuance, Australian Government borrowing, and trends across green and ESG-linked financing, providing timely insight into current debt market conditions.
