Fitch Records 6 Percent Private Credit Default Rate for Second Straight Month With 14 Events

Next reporting cycles will show whether extensions convert to realized losses or stabilize cash flows. Regulators track the sector through existing Form PF filings rather than new rules.

⚡ Prediction

Fitch: Private credit default rate reaches 7.5 percent by December 2024 if maturity extensions exceed 60 percent of events.
