Roundtable: European sovereign issuers look to varied maturities to bring in new investors

Amid tight budgetary conditions, including persistent inflation, volatile markets and geopolitical tensions, sovereign issuers in the EU face continuous pressure to fulfil borrowing requirements. Simultaneously, these same issuers are having to confront different challenges that range from the growing impact of hedge funds in their order books, and whether this is a good or a bad thing, how to convince new investors that their home currency, the euro, is an alternative to the dollar and how aligned EU capital markets should become and what form this should take. GlobalCapital assembled sovereign debt issuers to discuss borrowing requirements and how they are being met, what the diversification of their investor bases means for the products they offer and the benefits of harmonisation and simpler regulation in the EU.

GlobalCapital assembled a group of investors and issuers from across the bond market to discuss this burgeoning market and the progress they want to see from it in the future.

Japan corporate bond onslaught to ramp up offshore as size, tenors appeal

High-yield Japanese corporate bond issuers are set to step up their offshore bond issuance plans in 2026 amid a push to diversify their funding sources. They are likely to see success in dollars and euros provided market conditions hold up, writes Rashmi Kumar

Roundtable: Japan’s SSAs focus on flexible strategy, short tenor bonds to navigate choppy markets

Japan’s sovereign, supranational and agency (SSA) borrowers continue to be among the most highly regarded issuers in global debt markets, supported by strong credit fundamentals and deep domestic demand.
