Governments issue record bond sales amid rising spending
Governments continue to rely heavily on the standardized public bond market to finance increased public spending, with bond sales totaling approximately $504 billion since the beginning of the year—surpassing the second-highest amount raised during the first half of 2020. This trend comes amid rising financing costs, escalating defensive policies, and European governments' ambitions to boost spending on defense and infrastructure, alongside efforts to fund the transition to clean energy sources. Italy, Germany, and the United Kingdom emerge as the leading issuers of these bonds throughout the year.
