Zhitong Finance learned that with the exception of Japan, the size of US dollar loans in the Asia-Pacific region is expected to decline for the third year in a row because no large transactions are expected in the next few months, which is contrary to previous growth expectations. According to data compiled by the agency since 1999, borrowers have raised more than $111 billion in dollar loans so far this year, excluding bilateral loans, down 16% from the same period in 2023. If this trend continues for the rest of the year, this will be the first time the region has experienced three consecutive years of declining sales.
