Enhancements to the BIS debt securities statistics

Branimir Gruic and Philip Wooldridge

BIS Quarterly Review, 2012

Abstract: The BIS has revised its debt securities statistics to enhance their comparability across different markets. This feature by Branimir Gruic and Philip Wooldridge (BIS) sketches the main changes and the reasoning behind them. International issues have been redefined as debt securities issued outside the market where the borrower resides, and statistics combining international and domestic issues are being released for the first time. The revised statistics highlight the growing size and internationalisation of bond markets.
