New Lenders Take a Shine to Ignored Diamond Industry

The video discusses the exit of banks from the diamond lending business due to declining prices and lack of transparency in the midstream sector. A new risk-mitigated framework is introduced, focusing on collateral rather than cash flow, with higher interest rates. The framework offers additional marketing solutions, making it attractive to midstream companies even when commodity prices recover. Funding is sourced from specialty finance companies, with potential future collaborations with banks.
