On October 6, global finance head Steve Messina moderated the session “Financing Leaders Panel: Bank Debt, Bond Markets and Beyond — Where Is Digital Infra Credit Heading Next?” at TMT Finance USA 2026. The panel explored whether 2026 will mark a breakout year for capital markets in AI and data center financing, which debt markets may offer the most scalable long-term refinancing solutions, how the rise of high-yield bonds is reshaping broader lending markets and how rating agencies are evaluating AI-driven infrastructure risk.
