But as we enter 2026 with even more data center projects on the horizon, is the market equipped to meet demand for financing? In our latest episode of Markets Mindset, Mizuho’s Managing Director in Leveraged Finance, Jim Boland, is joined by Nicholas Brice, Head of Leveraged Finance Trading, and Rahul Shah, Head of Project Finance, for a discussion on how this year is shaping up in their markets and what lessons can be learned from 2025.
