    As the public sector bond market returns to work after its winter break, will it still be complaining about the extra European Central Bank stimulus that never was? Probably not. Instead, as Virginia Furness reports, it will most likely have to contend with a hectic first quarter.
  • As a turbulent year for public sector borrower markets drew to a close, the GlobalCapital editorial team picked the standout trades from 12 months that will live long in the memory — from the introduction of eurozone quantitative easing, to Greece’s nail-biting bail-out negotiations and the rare sight of negative swap spreads in dollars. We strived to pick those trades that really made an impact — whether it was re-opening the euro market after secondary distortion from QE made benchmarks a difficult business, or achieving size amid fevered speculation around when the US Federal Reserve would raise rates. The winners are presented here. We hope they are an apt reward for the issuers and banks involved — but also that they spark debate over whether they were truly the worthiest recipients.
