2012 Predictions

NO RATINGS
Corporate restructuring specialists expect technology and energy industries will improve in 2012 while the real estate and retail sectors lag, but a worsening European sovereign debt crisis could be the wrench that squeezes them all.

Six out of 10 respondents to the annual Turnaround Management Association (TMA) Trend Watch survey of more than 200 members said money center banks with exposure to Europe's debt are most vulnerable to the crisis, and problems they experience could lead to tighter credit lines for businesses.

Investment banks ranked second based on 34 percent of responses identifying industries most likely to suffer from Europe's pain, followed by hedge funds and manufacturing, which each had 20 percent. Respondents noted various scenarios arising from interdependent global financial markets in which problems that beset one scatter and multiply, such as a declining euro leading to lower demand both domestically and abroad for products from U.S. manufacturers.
