On 4 May 2023, we published model provisions for sustainability-linked loans (SLLs). These model provisions look to provide a proposed form of draft SLL provisions for inserting into LMA loan documentation, which are aligned with our Sustainability-Linked Loan Principles and accompanying Guidance notes.

Put together by an experienced working party of financial institutions and law firms active in sustainable finance, these model provisions seek to reflect current market practice, and provide a vital tool to protect the integrity of the SLL market by providing a basic drafting framework to assist parties in the negotiation of the document.  The model provisions also include extensive drafting notes setting out points for parties to consider when undertaking a SLL transaction.

On 24 May 2023, we will be holding our 9th conference covering the Developing Markets region. 

We are delighted to be holding this event physically in London at etc venues St Paul's, and also streaming it live online to all our members around the world.

This popular conference is viewed by LMA members as the go-to-event covering this region and attracts as speakers some of the most senior and experienced professionals actively working in the loans market today.  

The programme will be plenary throughout and will cover Sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa, CIS and the Middle East. 

As part of the run up to our 9th real estate finance conference being held in London , we surveyed our membership on the opportunities and challenges facing real estate finance markets. The survey aimed to determine where the key investment opportunities and challenges lay, which sectors and asset classes were most likely to drive future growth and where future lending would most likely be sourced from.

The results were collected anonymously and represent the personal views of professionals actively working in the real estate finance market.
