Panel: Restructuring Project Finance debt
A number of CEE jurisdictions have retroactively changed their renewable energy programmes, making projects that borrowed project finance debt unsustainable and forcing restructurings.

Added to that many of the big creditors are Development Finance Institutions, which may take a very different approach to restructuring negotiations. Should investors dive in, or keep away?

Panel: Retail, a problem sector everywhere
Whichever country or region you focus on retail names are in trouble as disruptive technology drives ever greater distress. Are there any cultural or technical differences for CEE retail names?
