AFIA is pleased to partner with KPMG to deliver a timely webinar exploring the continued growth of Australia’s private credit market and what this means for the broader lending landscape.

Private credit is rapidly becoming an increasingly attractive alternative source of funding for businesses, supported by strong market demand and significant global capital flows. With the Alternative Credit Council’s updated 2025 research estimating the global private credit market at US$3.5 trillion, it is increasingly important to understand how this volume of capital is shaping current and future markets.

As the Australian private credit market evolves, industry participants are navigating increased regulatory attention, changing borrower conditions and a more complex operating environment. This session will provide members with a detailed update on the Australian private credit landscape, including what is driving growth, how the local market compares globally, and what developments could shape FY27 and beyond.

KPMG’s private credit experts Ryan Eagle, Fiona Hong and Gayle Dickerson will share insights and learnings from their work with private credit firms, including how firms are responding to borrower stress, regulatory scrutiny and emerging market risks.
