Private credit could ‘amplify’ next financial crisis, study finds
SHARE

Private credit has become a significant player in the financial industry, with economists, bankers, and US officials warning that it could be a potential source of contagion in the next financial crisis. A recent study by Moody’s Analytics, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and a former Treasury Department adviser highlighted the increasing interconnectedness between private credit funds and the banking system, raising concerns about their role in amplifying future financial crises.

The rise of private credit can be attributed to the strict regulations imposed on banks after the 2008 financial crisis, which led them to tighten their lending standards. Private credit funds, which cater to riskier companies with high debt levels, operate with less oversight compared to traditional banks. This lack of regulation has raised alarms as the sector continues to grow exponentially.

The study, authored by experts including Mark Zandi from Moody’s Analytics, Samim Ghamami from the SEC, and former Treasury adviser Antonio Weiss, analyzed the impact of private credit on the financial system during times of market turmoil. They found that private credit firms, particularly business development companies serving as proxies for the industry, have become more closely correlated with market stress in recent years.

The report highlighted the complex network of interconnectedness within the financial system, with private credit firms, specialty financial groups, and insurers playing a more prominent role in lending activities. While private credit firms argue that they are better equipped to handle lending than banks due to their reliance on institutional investors with longer investment horizons, concerns persist about their potential to exacerbate systemic risks in times of crisis.

The Boston Federal Reserve and Fitch Ratings have also raised red flags about the risks associated with banks lending to private credit funds and other non-bank financial institutions. Fitch Ratings specifically noted the need for close monitoring of the evolving products and asset classes in the private credit sector, as many remain untested through market cycles.

In response to these concerns, the Moody’s Analytics report called for increased transparency and data sharing within the private credit sector. Financial regulators were urged to prioritize private credit in their systemic risk monitoring efforts to prevent it from becoming a blind spot in the broader financial landscape.

Ultimately, the goal is not to stifle the innovative aspects of private credit but to shed light on its potential risks and interconnectedness with the broader financial system. By addressing these issues proactively, policymakers can mitigate the risks associated with private credit and ensure a more stable financial environment for all stakeholders.
