Published: 24 August 2026

The Financing the Economy podcast is brought to you by the Alternative Credit Council. This podcast aims to share fascinating discussions and insider takes into the private credit asset class.

Each episode will examine topical areas of interest from across the private credit industry with views and analysis delivered by the ACC team and industry experts.

In this episode of Financing the Economy, we explore the evolving private credit opportunity in Asia with SC Lowy, from the funding gaps created by traditional banking markets to where the most compelling opportunities are emerging today.

We also discuss how managers are approaching capital deployment, what institutional investors are looking for when allocating to APAC private credit, and what could drive the next phase of growth across the region.

The conversation builds on themes explored in the ACC’s recent Private Credit in Asia paper, which takes a closer look at the development of the market and the opportunities ahead. You can read the paper here: https://www.aima.org/compass/insights/private-credit/private-credit-in-asia.html
