Banking security law in Asia Pacific
Global | Publication | March 2017
Taking security across Asia Pacific - are your loans secure?
For international financiers and corporate borrowers, taking or granting security in Asia Pacific requires a specialised and customised approach for each jurisdiction.
Whilst there are many similarities between some jurisdictions, there are surprisingly wide variations within the region. Many countries have reformed or are reforming security legislation in an effort to improve and simplify the process of advancing loans and taking security.
To help our clients structure cross-border financing transactions, we have produced ‘Banking security in Asia Pacific’ as part of our NRF Institute. The guide compares banking and security laws in 16 jurisdictions within the region.
You can use the guide to:
- Navigate a map of the Asia Pacific region and choose the jurisdiction/s you wish to read about
- Create and customise your own comparative reports
- Opt to receive email alerts when the laws change in the jurisdictions of interest.
