Bond market authority returns
The role of the "Bond Market Watchdogs" in influencing governments and setting financing costs has returned, amid increasing challenges facing global debt markets. After a period of cheap money resulting from the easing policies of central banks following the 2008 financial crisis and the pandemic, the inflation crisis has once again raised interest rates. This has led to higher refinancing costs for sovereign bonds, especially as old bonds with low interest rates approach maturity. The total volume of sovereign debt is approximately $65 trillion. While 80% of the borrowing by OECD countries this year is aimed at refinancing, rising interest rates will increase the debt service burden. This reaffirms the importance of the "Market Watchdogs" in monitoring governments and determining borrowing costs, amid expectations of higher demand for financing from governments and companies in the future.
