Why the Debt Maturity Wall is Still a Figment, For Now

The term “debt maturity wall” has become widely used among restructuring professionals in the post-financial crisis era, referring to the growing wall of staggered corporate debt maturities that collectively built over time as more speculative-grade companies stepped up their borrowing and methodically refinanced debt securities ahead of scheduled maturity.

While the narrative around the maturity wall has popped up in business media every few years, it has never actually become consequential to the public. As the term continues to persist over two decades later, it begs the question: will the maturity wall will ever materialize, or is it simply a myth?
