Banks seek to offload AI data center loan risk
What happened
A report dated October 15 says JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, SMBC and MUFG are exploring significant risk transfer deals to cut their exposure to AI data center loans, which is nearing internal limits. Such deals let banks keep the loans on their books while passing the riskiest portions to outside investors. Banks including JPMorgan and MUFG have spent more than six months trying to distribute $38 billion in construction debt tied to data center projects leased by Oracle. Some lenders are now willing to sell loans to non-bank buyers at a discount.

摩根大通、摩根士丹利、SMBC和MUFG正在探索重大风险转移交易，以降低AI数据中心贷款带来的风险敞口。此类交易允许银行保留账面贷款，将风险最高的部分转给外部投资者，背景是相关敞口接近内部限额。包括摩根大通和MUFG在内的银行已耗时超过6个月，尝试分销与Oracle租用的数据中心项目相关的$38 billion建设债务，部分贷款机构愿意折价向非银行买家出售。
