汇丰银行正停止向风险较高的私募信贷客户提供贷款，起因是近期数起瞩目的企业破产案引发了市场对该行业核贷标准的质疑，进而促使多家银行减少对该领域的风险敞口。

除汇丰外，巴克莱银行也收紧了对特定结构性融资交易对手的放贷。这些英国大型银行的撤退，源于过渡性贷款机构 Market Financial Solutions (MFS) 因涉嫌欺诈而倒闭，给两家银行带来了数亿英镑的损失与拨备。

监管机构（例如欧洲央行）对银行与私募信贷基金之间的紧密联系日益感到担忧，警告称金融系统中可能存在风险传导与放大的隐患，迫使金融机构重新审视其风险承受能力。

HSBC is halting lending to riskier private credit clients, following high-profile corporate bankruptcies that raised doubts about underwriting standards and prompted banks to reduce their exposure to the sector.

Alongside HSBC, Barclays has also constrained lending to certain structured finance counterparties. The retreat of these major UK banks was triggered by the collapse of bridging lender Market Financial Solutions (MFS) due to fraud allegations, causing significant losses and provisions.

Regulators, including the European Central Bank, are increasingly concerned about the linkages between banks and private credit funds, warning that shocks could be transmitted and amplified across the financial system, forcing institutions to reassess their risk appetite.
