Bond loans: the new business addiction n’est pas sans risque !
The strength of European growth and the euphoria of economic agents should not make us forget that running a business means being prepared for any eventuality or change of trend.

We are currently living in a period of disintermediation of business financing.

Indeed, it underlines the banking peak in 2008 and the progressive increase in the use of " credit bonds " since then.
Financial market volatility
The counterpart to this disintermediation is the volatility of the financial markets. Indeed, the latter are capable of closing abruptly in the event of a " risk off " market sentiment (a volatility visible on the graph below).
