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.
