SmithNovak NPL EUROPE is the leading event for the European Non-Performing Loans market and featured 500+ delegates from more than 200 companies in the virtual event held on March 3rd and 4th of this year.
A significant wave of pandemic loan defaults will appear as moratoria and other measures are relaxed late in 2021 and into mid-2022. The ECB has forecasted NPL stocks could rise to a worst-case scenario of €1.4tn, this representing an enormous challenge for the Banks and a significant opportunity for Investors, Servicers, Advisors and Technology companies.
FFN Founder and CEO, Bliss Morris, took part in the opening of the conference in the event’s first panel, Pandemic NPLs: Damage Done and Next Steps. Bliss Morris founded First Financial Network and has driven its strategy, growth and development since 1989. Her commentary has been featured on CNBC, Bloomberg, GlobeSt. and Reuters. In 2010 Bliss was honored as Oklahoma’s Top CEO by The Journal Record and she is a 2016 Housing Wire Woman of Influence.
