About this Episode

Welcome to the third episode of The Finance Show, your biweekly briefing on Belgian and global corporate finance.

Belgian Deals

  • Loop Earplugs raises €50M through a masterclass in capital structure, debt over equity.
  • Belron, the parent company of Carglass, is exploring a potential IPO at a valuation of up to $40 billion: what it means for D'Ieteren, where it lists, and why 2027 is the more realistic timeline.
  • The 2025 M&A league tables are out. BDO leads by volume, KPMG by value. We break down what the rankings tell you about the Belgian market and how to use them to break into the industry.

Global Finance

  • Cracks are appearing in the $3 trillion private credit market. Redemption requests are being denied, assets are being sold at discounts, and some of the world's most respected investors are making comparisons to 2008.

Analysis, context, and what's next, all in one episode.
