Debt securities statistics

This data set covers borrowing and investment activities in debt capital markets, capturing debt instruments designed to be traded in financial markets such as treasury bills, commercial paper, negotiable certificates of deposit, bonds, debentures and asset-backed securities. These statistics are harmonised with the recommendations of the Handbook on securities statistics (HSS) and distinguish between debt securities issued and held in international and domestic markets.

The data set is available at quarterly frequency for over 50 economies starting as early as 1946. It benefited from close collaboration with national central banks and national authorities, also as part of the G20 Data Gaps Initiative.

Total debt securities are issued by residents in all markets. Domestic (international) debt securities are issued in (outside) the local market of the country where the borrower resides, regardless of the currency denomination of the security. As valuation methods differ across countries, some amounts are presented at market value and others at nominal or face value.

International debt securities (BIS-compiled)

The international debt securities (IDS) statistics cover borrowing activity in debt capital markets. They are issued outside the local market of the country where the borrower resides. They capture debt instruments designed to be traded in financial markets, such as treasury bills, commercial paper, negotiable certificates of deposit, bonds, debentures and asset-backed securities (including issues conventionally known as eurobonds and foreign bonds but excluding negotiable loans). The IDS statistics are compiled from a security-by-security database built by the BIS using information from commercial data providers. Amounts are presented at face value.

The IDS statistics are presented by the issue’s currency, maturity and interest rate type, and the issuer’s nationality and residence. The residence of the issuer is the country where the issuer is incorporated, whereas the nationality of the issuer is the country where the issuer’s parent is headquartered.
