Market Insights: Issuance Volume Trends


Sovereign debt issuance varies significantly across countries, reflecting economic conditions and policy decisions.

France (High Issuance) conducts approximately 120 T-bill auctions totalling EUR 360 billion and 94 bond auctions amounting to EUR 190 billion annually.

Greece (Low Issuance), due to prior defaults, primarily issues T-bills rather than bonds, with a smaller issuance volume of EUR 35 billion annually.

This disparity highlights the importance of a comprehensive, comparative approach to sovereign debt monitoring.
