Germany to overshadow UK, Spain in 2008, says ABN

Christoph Anhamm, head of ABS and covered bond research at ABN Amro, has bravely come out with one of the earliest estimates for total jumbo supply in 2008: Eu185bn versus 2006’s record total of Eu179.7bn. He also expects a reversal of recent supply trends, with gross German jumbo issuance of Eu42bn almost equal to Eu43bn of gross supply from the UK and Spain combined.
