About debt securities

The BIS debt securities data sets cover borrowing activity in debt capital markets. They capture debt instruments designed to be traded in financial markets and distinguish between those issued in domestic and international markets. The debt securities statistics are collected by the BIS from national authorities. The international debt securities are compiled by the BIS using security-level data from commercial vendors.
