Table A B.1. Q2 Do you believe it is necessary/important to maintain certain volumes in specific maturity segments in your country? | ||

Answer | Comments | |
Australia | Yes | The focus is on the free-float i.e. gross outstanding in any given line less what the RBA owns (by virtue of QE operations). While far from an exact science, our experience suggests that circa 20bn is generally consistent with good depth and liquidity (less in longer maturities >12years |
Austria | Yes | We are of the opinion that a certain minimum size in the main benchmark bonds is important in order to support secondary market liquidity. |
Belgium | Yes | In order to create and maintain a sufficiently liquid full curve, volumes issued in all lines should reach sufficient levels. |
Brazil | Yes | We do not have an exact figure on the minimum volume, but our strategies seek to ensure that each line have a considerable amount so that the securities have relevant liquidity in the market. |
Bulgaria | Yes | It is important to maintain a highly standardized benchmark yield curve across all maturity segments. |
Canada | Yes | In order to maintain well-functioning markets, the Government maintains certain minimum levels of issuance across maturities. Benchmark size ranges for each sector are announced in the annual Debt Management Strategy. For fiscal year 2022-23, benchmarks will be lower in most sectors relative to fiscal year 2021-22, reflecting the decreased overall issuance in bonds. Due to much higher issuance levels in core sectors as well as the strategy to term out COVID related debt by locking in longer maturity bonds at historically low rates, the benchmark bond target ranges were increased in fiscal year 2021-22. For fiscal year 2022-2023, these benchmark size ranges are (as per Table A2.5): Annex 2: Debt Management Strategy | Budget 2022 2Y: CAD 16 Billion to CAD 20 Billion for February, May, August, and November maturity dates 3Y: CAD 10 Billion to CAD 14 Billion for April and October maturity dates 5Y: CAD 16 Billion to CAD 20 Billion for March and September maturity dates 10Y: CAD 18 Billion to CAD 32 Billion for June and December maturity dates 30Y: CAD 25 Billion to CAD 40 Billion for December maturity dates RRB: CAD 8 Billion to CAD 12 Billion for December maturity dates (including inflation adjustments) |
Chile | Yes | Our debt management strategy relies strongly on the existence of high liquid benchmarks, for which it is necessary to have important volumes in each specific benchmark |
Colombia | Yes | It is important to maintain high volumes in the middle and long part of the curve to reduce the risk of refinancing. |
Costa Rica | Yes | Benchmark: 3, 5 7 and 10 years. United States dollars (USD) 160 million for CRC zero coupon bonds, United States dollars (USD) 1.100 million for CRC fixed rate, United States dollars (USD) 800 floating and United States dollars (USD) 1.300 for indexed rate bonds. The Ministry of Finance of Costa Rica maintains volumes in certain segments or focal dates allows better price formation, which impacts the liquidity of the issues, allowing the placement of debt in better conditions. |
Croatia | Yes |
|
Czech Republic | Yes | The Ministry of Finance tries to keep the sufficient outstanding amounts of treasury bonds along the whole yield curve so market participants may benefit from the market liquidity. |
Denmark | Yes |
|
Estonia | No |
|
Finland | Yes |
|
France | Yes | It is important for us to maintain large volumes on all segments of our market. Nonetheless, we are demand-driven and would lower volumes issued if demand was weak on a particular segment. Our auction system (bill auction every week, long term nominal bonds, medium term nominal bond and inflation-linked bond every month) makes it easy to issue on every segment |
Germany | Yes |
|
Greece | Yes |
|
Hungary | Yes | We have regular and frequent benchmark auctions with maturities from 3 months up to 20 years. In 2021 we have introduced a new 30-year Green Bond, which is also auctioned regularly (quarterly). Issuing at several maturities ensures us a balanced maturity profile. Bond series are reopened several times, which helps to build up sufficiently large volumes. The targeted sizes are usually around USD 3 billion equivalent, the largest bond series are close to USD 4 billion equivalent. Issuing the appropriate volume creates the opportunity for the given series to be included in, for example, the GBI index, which - in line with the issuer's goal - can further increase the liquidity of the bond |
Iceland | Yes | It’s very important to maintain liquidity in most segments on both our nominal and inflation-indexed curves, especially in 2, 5 and 10 years lines with regular issuance. A certain pre-announced minimum size in benchmark series is important to support secondary market liquidity. |
Ireland | Yes | It is important to maintain liquidity throughout the curve. In general, the 5yr and 10yr and increasingly the 15 and 30 year points are viewed as key maturity segments and are usually the most active. |
Israel | Yes | One of our primary focuses is on maintaining certain liquidity levels that support tradability, and vice versa. While this is also a key goal for the primary dealership model, due to market conditions and structure, some segments are known to be less liquid. Primary dealers are obligated to quote bonds in both New Israeli Shekel (NIS) denominated Consumer Price Index linked bonds and nominal bonds, including On-the-run bonds. Most bonds are quoted with a maximum spread of 3-4 bps, except for the 10 years On-the-run bond, which is quoted with a maximum spread of 2 bps. |
Italy | Yes | This is a key pillar that we have in mind in defining our issuance strategy. For each instrument and maturity we set a minimum outstanding volume to be issued before launching a new bond. Having an outstanding large enough for each bond is extremely important in order to guarantee a sufficient liquidity of the bond on the secondary market. |
Japan | No | A breakdown of the JGB market issuance by maturity is determined with market needs and trends taken into account, covering a wide range of maturities from the short term to the super long term, based on government debt management policy requirements. |
Korea | Yes | 10 year maturity (benchmark) |
Republic of Latvia | Yes | Liquidity is important element regardless of maturity segment and is beneficiary for both primary and secondary market. |
Lithuania | Yes | It is important to issue regularly at the longer end – 7-12 years, to ensure liquidity of the bonds. Volumes are not particularly important as longs as the issuance is regular. |
Luxembourg | Yes |
|
Mexico (Local) | Yes | On the run bonds, are fundamental for portfolio duration management and for market makers to provide enough liquidity to the secondary market. This allows the correct development for local and foreign investors. - Duration management is important to give flexibility to investors due to perspectives on market conditions or to specific investment objectives. - For on the run bonds new issuances, we attempt to have an outstanding value of at least 5 billion dollars. The time to reach the 5 billion dollars outstanding in the short-term bonds is a year, for middle and long term is between 2 - 3 years. |
Mexico (External) | Yes | This is an aspect to which the Federal Government gives a lot of attention regarding its foreign denominated bonds. It’s absolutely very important for bonds at specific tenors to comply with all the necessary characteristics in order to be consider as real benchmarks and size is one critical characteristic as it relates directly to liquidity (size it also a very important criteria for bonds to be included in global indexes which also enhance the instrument’s liquidity). Here I’s important to mention that bonds are consider as liquid benchmarks depending on the market where they are issued; for example, in the US dollar market Mexico’s typical benchmarks are 10 and 30 years for notional amounts of at least 2 billion while in the euro market most typical benchmarks are 7 years (a notional amount of 750 million its more than enough) and 10, 12 and even 20 years (for these tenors in euros Mexico considers at least 1 billion as the proper benchmark size). As a sovereign issuer Mexico has the responsibility to establish true benchmarks in international financial markets as this will both enhance and facilitate the price discovery process of other Mexican issuers (either from the private or public sector). |
Netherlands | Yes | All bonds up to and including 10 years have a target of around 12 billion when issued. The commitment for bonds <10 years when issued is usually to get to the target within 12 to 18 months from first issuance. Our 10 year benchmark bond has the same target volume but a commitment to get it to the target volume within the calendar year. Longer than 10 year have a target volume of at least 10 billion but no commitment as to when have to get to that number. |
New Zealand | Yes | We target quickly building volume in newly syndicated ‘benchmark’ 5-year, 10-year and 30-year lines to a minimum of circa NZD 4b, in order to promote liquidity in these lines that we see as important points on the curve for offshore investors. We have a ‘cap’ on individual nominal and inflation-indexed bond lines of NZ$18b and NZ$10b respectively. These caps are designed to balance the need for liquidity in each line against building out a full New Zealand Government Bond (NZGB) curve and mitigating refinancing risk. |
Norway | Yes | Norway has a policy of limiting the number of bond lines in order to build up the volume in existing lines to ensure liquidity. We issue a new 10- year bond every year in order to maintain the yield curve up to 10 years. The policy is to build the new 10-year bond up to a volume that constitutes nearly half of the borrowing requirement in each year. There is however large uncertainty about which volumes are necessary to reach satisfying liquidity in the specific segments. |
Poland | Yes | In order to enhance market liquidity it is important to build large issues of benchmark bonds. In case of medium- and long-term domestic fixed rate bonds the desired amount outstanding is at least PLN 25bn (about USD 5.5bn). |
Portugal | Yes | We believe it is important to maintain good levels of liquidity in all segments of our curve, in particular in 5y and 10y buckets. In those segments (5y and 10y), it is important to have at least an outstanding amount of USD 5 bln per bond. In steady state, we believe that the outstanding volume per bond should hover USD 10 bln. |
Romania | Yes | In the current conditions our strategy favors medium to long maturities (4 years to 10 years), while related to volume we target an equivalent in local currency of EUR 2.5 billion per line. |
Slovak Republic | Yes | We have goals stemming from the Debt Management Strategy that require us to meet refinancing and refixing risk criteria. It is up to DMO what mix of maturities will lead to fulfilling this criteria. We have to issue what market wants and what is risk and cost efficient within the Strategy boundaries. |
Slovenia | No | In the past Slovenia tended to issue “smaller” sizes of bonds in comparison to other Eurozone countries (around EUR 1bn). For the past couple of years or so the policy has been to tap existing EUR bonds and thus increasing their original issue size up to EUR 3bn. For the Republic of Slovenia, as a smaller issuer, is therefore liquidity wise not so necessary/important to maintain certain volumes in specific maturity segments than it is to ensure bigger issue size per bond. |
Spain | Yes | We try to maintain liquidity throughout all of the main points of our yield curve. To achieve this, we use benchmark programs, trying to keep liquid benchmarks that represent each of the main points of our yield curve, such as the 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 50 year points. To achieve this, we maintain try to reach a volume of approximately 20 billion outstanding for each of these reference points, so that they have sufficient liquidity. As time goes by and these benchmarks no longer correctly represent the intended maturity segment, or they reach the goal of approximately 20 billion outstanding, they are replaced with a new benchmark |
Sweden |
|
|
Switzerland | Yes | In our view, it is important to cover maturities of 1 to 13 years with liquid T-bonds. Additionally in the case of longer maturities, intermittent anchor points with individual bonds may complete the government yield curve. The yields on T-bonds constitute a key benchmark and therefore help to ensure an attractive and efficient Swiss capital market that functions well. As the Federal treasury finances itself exclusively via the domestic market, an efficient market is important to ensure beneficial financing conditions for the government. We are aiming for a maximum volume at maturity of around CHF 4 billion. This helps us to ensure that our relatively small capital market debt volume (around USD 70 billion; less than 10% of Swiss GDP) is somewhat evenly distributed among the individual bonds. |
Türkiye | Yes | It is important to maintain a certain amount of liquidity for 2, 5 and 10 years benchmark bonds in order to meet the different duration needs of the investors as well as to form a solid long-term yield curve that will be treated as a reference rate in bond and money markets. |
UK | Yes | Even though there are no specific volume targets in place, we believe that regular issuance at key benchmark maturities supports more efficient price discovery/price adjustment and, therefore, contributes to smooth functioning of the gilt market. To this end, we focus issuance of conventional (i.e. nominal) gilts particularly at the 5-, 10-, 20- and 30-year benchmark maturities with successive re-openings of relevant bonds until they reach benchmark size. The range of benchmark maturities to be supported and the volumes that are appropriate to target will vary over time according to the overall size of the debt programme and of the debt stock. For nominal gilts at present this is typically up to around £30bn; some lines during the COVID crises we built up to around £40bn. In the case of inflation-linked gilts, issuance takes place particularly at 10-, 20- and 30-year maturities with sizes typically built to around £15 to £20bn. Currently, the longest dated gilts are 1?% Treasury Gilt 2073 (nominal gilt) with approximately £9.7bn nominal in market hands and 0?% Index-linked Treasury Gilt 2073 (inflation-linked gilt), with approximately £3.1bn uplifted nominal in market hands. |

| In the first eight months of 2022 (Jan-Aug), we have seen an increase in secondary market turnover in RAGBs (Republic of Austria Government Bonds) vs. the same period in 2021 of around 22%. However, in 2022YTD*, bid-ask spreads have widened significantly compared to the last year. E.g., for the 10-year benchmark bonds the average bid-ask spread (on price basis) is as follows: 2017 16 ct 2018 18 ct 2019 14 ct 2020 26 ct 2021 17 ct 2022* 33 ct *until September 09, 2022 |

| Liquidity conditions have been impacted by the extreme market volatility in 2022. This has in particular and logically led to an increase in bid asks spreads. At the same time, we do see that traded volumes, especially by customers, are on the rise, supported by the scaling down of QE and continued high amounts of issuance. |

| During 2021, there were Congress initiatives that allowed people to withdraw resources from the pension accounts, which are fully private. This had an effect on the market, mainly because the pension funds had less money to invest, with its impact on treasury securities’ demand. During the last months, this situation has changed and now pension managers receive positive net flows, which allow them to participate actively in the local market. But the depth of the market is worse compared to previous years. |

| While in the first half of 2021 the liquidity conditions have remained quite stable, starting from June 2021 the liquidity levels have started worsening, also due to the uncertainty triggered by the inflation forecasts and the consequent actions taken by the European Central Bank to handle inflation. After the announcement in the ECB meeting held on December 2021 of the end of the PEPP Program in March 2022 and the progressive slowdown of the path of APP Program, the market has experienced an increase in volatility and a concurrent worsening of liquidity conditions. This trend has continued over the first half of 2022 and has exacerbated in the last months. During 2021 the stability of liquidity conditions has been followed by an increase in the trading volumes compared to 2020. While in the first quarter, despite the increase in market volatility the volumes traded on the main interdealer platform (MTS Italy) has remained quite stable, starting from the second quarter, the deterioration in liquidity levels has been confirmed by a slight decrease of the volumes traded |

| We have mentioned both answered – improved in turnover and declined in liquidity through wider bid-ask-spreads. Because of Russia invasion of Ukraine changed the overall environment. But in the same time an active reopening of outstanding Eurobonds via Primary Dealer system in auctions in the domestic market has positively affected the trading volumes (increased turnover) in the secondary market in spite of volatile markets and big uncertainty in the markets. Due to geopolitical aspects bid-ask spread has increased for several bonds. |

| The increase in inflation and economic weakening due to the energy crises that started by the end of 2021 and the Ukrainian war led to an increase in bid-ask spreads in the last 12 months. The spreads were particularly acute at the start of the war and in the last 3 months due to Central Banks action to fight inflation. Volumes have been decreasing over the past 12 months due to the same reasons, particularly in dealer-to-dealer platforms |

| In the second half of the year 2021 the bid-ask spread remained low and stable in comparison to Covid-19 crisis period. In the last 6 months (Jan-Jun 2022) the bid-ask spread started to widen due to war in Ukraine and resulting economic and geopolitical risks. Correspondingly trading volumes started to decrease. |
Spain |
| X |
|
| We have seen a worsening of liquidity in the Spanish Public Debt market, which has been in line with the trend experiences by other European Government Bond sovereign issuers. There are multiple reasons for this decline in liquidity, among which we can highlight three: One of the main reasons is the increase in volatility, which makes Primary Dealers less willing to provide the same level of liquidity that they did in 2020 and 2021. Another reason is the change in monetary policy by large central banks. As interest rates rise and the net asset purchase programs of the large central banks are ended, this affects financial markets, changing the market context that has been in place for over 10 years. We don’t believe that this change will have lasting effects on liquidity, but as market agents transition from one market context to the next, liquidity conditions could worsen as market participants adapt to the new context. Yet another reason is the uncertainty in the global macroeconomic and geopolitical context. The war in Ukraine, the possible gas supply shortages and many other risks in the global economy bring more uncertainty, and therefore less liquidity. |

| Over the last 12 months, liquidity conditions of our bonds did not change significantly. As issuance activity was still elevated compared to pre-pandemic times, our sovereign bonds were traded slightly more often than in the years before the pandemic (as measured by turnover). The higher issuance volume of the Swiss Confederation still was mainly caused by the elevated financing needs of the Confederation’s Covid-19 measures. Over the last few months, bid-ask spreads widened slightly, most of all in longer-dated bonds. This might be explained by a tighter (more negative) spread to swap at auctions in this timeframe and a large percentage of buy-and-hold investors in this market segment. |

| Data available to us suggest that bid offer spreads of both 10-year and 30-year gilts have widened over the last 12 months; moreover, the trading range in 2022 has been more volatile compared to that in 2021. Secondary market trading volumes (13-week average) in conventional gilts (as reported by primary dealers) have ranged between around £150bn and £180bn a week for the bulk of the past two years. However, over the past three months, volumes have fallen to circa £130bn (, which is slightly higher than the turnover observed in the summer months of 2019, in which there was no expansion of quantitative easing (QE) from the Bank of England (in contrast with the summers of 2020 and 2021). Index-linked gilt turnover (13 weeks average) spiked in the December 2021 to July 2022 period to between £27bn and £33bn a week from between £22bn and £26bn in the first 11 months of 2021. However, in August and September 2022, turnover has retracted to around £24bn. |

| We have mentioned both answers – improved and declined, because of Russia invasion of Ukraine changed the overall environment from February 2022. Regular reopenings of outstanding Eurobonds (under English law) via Primary Dealer system in auctions in the domestic market has positively affected the trading in the secondary market. As well as larger borrowing needs enabled us to issue larger volumes in syndication in 2021, thus helping liquidity in secondary market. But after February 2022 situation changed in terms of ticket size volumes and bid-ask spread widening. |

During that period, US dollar denominated benchmarks (5, 10, and 30-year bonds) worsened their average liquidity from 0.52 to 0.67 while euro denominated benchmarks (5, 10, and 30-year bond) worsened their average liquidity from 0.66 to 0.82. |

Australia |

|
|
| Low free float in some front-end Treasury Bonds has contributed to a general decline in the liquidity of the 3 year Treasury Bond futures contract (physical bonds trading expensive to the futures contract has sidelined some participants reducing turnover/liquidity/depth). This has begun to recover but remains below normal. |
Austria |

|
| The government securities repo market is a natural complement to the interbank bond market. The Bulgarian National Bank is very limited in its actions as it is a lender of last resort. The repo market has a major role in the domestic market, as Republic of Bulgaria is in currency board regime. |

| In the last 12 months repo market has performed efficiently and tensions on GC rates have occurred in combination with the end of the quarter and at the turn of the year. However, the market has experienced a reduction of the collateral – also due to the Purchase Programmes of the ECB (APP and PEPP) – causing a drop of Special repo rates at more negative levels. This trend has been partially offset by the MEF, which with its new repo operation has provided more collateral in the market. During the months, the volume traded in Special repo increased consistently, widely offsetting the slight decrease of those traded in GC. |

| According to Bank of England data (as at end June 2022), liquidity in the sterling repo markets has improved slightly in overnight repo (i.e. where a financial institution sells securities and agrees to buy them back the following day), and remained the same in tomorrow/next day maturities (a transaction that spans two consecutive business days – tomorrow and the following day – that enables traders to roll over their positions). |
Table A B.11. Q9 How has the market-making capacity of primary dealers evolved in your market over the last few years? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Country | Increased | Decreased | Stable | Please discuss |
Australia |
| X |
| The collective market making capacity of intermediaries has probably not matched the growth in the stock of debt securities on issue over recent years. Higher costs of market making may also have triggered some erosion in capacity as well. Intermediaries are generally more vulnerable now to events that trigger bond accumulation on trading balance sheets than in the past. Despite some erosion in capacity, the Australian Government Securities market remains well ‘brokered’. |
Austria |
|
| X |
|
Belgium |
|
| X | The situation seems stable, but market makers have lost an important part of their role in smoothening auction supply to hedge funds. Cf. next question. |
Brazil | X |
|
| More banks and brokers have shown interest in being a primary dealer. The highlight is the consolidation of the largest groups in the brokers business. |
Bulgaria | X |
|
| With the introduction of new Criteria for the selection of Primary Dealers of Government Securities in 2022 we practically introduced the market making system in Bulgaria. As of July 1, the primary dealers of government securities must comply with the obligation to maintain firm quotations. |
Canada | X |
|
| Increase in overall issuance, improved international demand, relative value trading, and overall bigger size of the market has led to the increase in market making capacity of dealers. |
Chile |

Colombia |

| Regulation and the cost of capital have led to an increased focus from the primary dealers on where they use the balance sheet. In general this has led to a decline in the balance sheet used from the primary dealers. |

Hungary |
|
| X | These years have been characterized by crises; in difficult times the DMO allowed the PDs to make market on a best efforts basis, with no penalties, and the DMO also widened the obligatory minimum bid-ask spread. These measures have resulted in a rather stable market making performance of PDs. |

Israel | X |
|
| Over the last few years, measures were taken to improve market-making capacity, including benefits to Primary Dealers that provide additional liquidity in the secondary market and more obligations in the Primary Market. |
Italy |
| X |
| The European regulatory framework introduced after the financial crisis seems to have changed quite significantly the economics of market making activity, with strong repercussions on the underlying liquidity of bonds. Due to capital requirements, for instance, the cost related to bond risk warehousing has risen under different perspectives, reducing de facto their capacity to quote and then trade at tight levels. This trend has brought in some cases dealers to modify their business model or, in some other cases, to put in place strategies aimed at increasing the profitability of market making that in most of the cases have resulted in some reduction of the liquidity of bonds on the secondary market. |
Japan |
|
| X | Although the bid-ask spread widened temporarily in the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has remained within a certain range. We recognize that there has been no change in the market-making capacity. |

|
| As of January 2021 we have a new Primary dealer – Erste – in our PD group. Regular auctions and re-openings of Eurobonds in auctions in domestic market makes it more attractive for investors and for dealers. Increased borrowing levels in domestic market via auctions have positively impacted overall liquidity levels as well (increased turnover in the secondary market). |

| In 2000, SHCP successfully implemented the market makers program. Since then, the market making capacity of primary dealers has been increasing due to the good structure of the program. In addition, in 2021, some changes were made allowing more institutions to join this program. |
Netherlands |
| X |
| It is not so much about the last few years but mostly since the start of 2022 that market-making capacity has gone down. Geopolitical risks and monetary policy changes have led to increased volatility which has put b/a-spreads higher. On top of higher b/a-spreads the increased volatility has led to PD’s not being able to quote within the required spread for the required amount of time and as such quotation scores have gone down significantly since the start of 2022. |
New Zealand | X |
|
| The market making capacity for dealers has either remained the same or slightly improved in the last 12 months. There has been an improvement in the linker market, with Inflation-Indexed Bonds moving to single price auctions. |
Norway |
| X |
| Higher volatility has increased risks and costs of being a primary dealer. |
Poland | X |
|
| The market-making capacity of primary dealers has been strengthened by introduction of modern electronic trading platform, software supporting high-frequency quoting and trading and large issues of benchmark bonds enhancing market liquidity. The system of constant evaluation of primary dealers performance, improved communication and quarterly assessments stimulates dealers to better results (see point 11). |
Portugal | X |
|
| Over the past few years, the market making capacity of primary dealers have been improving. In 2022, there has been a decrease in their capacity due to an increase in bid-ask spreads and a decrease in liquidity, however with higher capacity then in 2018 and 2017 |

| X | We have seen some Primary Dealers increase their investment in our market, increasing their market-making capacity in the last few years, but at the same time we have seen others decrease their investment. We believe that this shows that our market remains dynamic and competitive, leading to the success of certain Primary Dealers who are more efficient than others or willing to take on more risk in the current market context. |

But we do not have any obligations to them and they receive no compensation from us in return. We did not perceive any fundamental changes in primary or secondary market activity over the last few years. |

| X | During the COVID pandemic, the relaxation of bank capital and liquidity requirements, along with the extra liquidity provided by the Bank of England, enhanced primary dealers’ market making capacity. However, over the last 12 months, the commencement of quantitative tightening (QT) from the Bank of England, the fall in secondary market turnover in conventional gilts and also the increase in market volatility is likely to have increased strain on the market making capacity of primary dealers. |

| The increase in regulation on the banking sector has affected many of our Primary Dealers. This means that they are not able to carry out the same operations that they did 10 years ago for example. Other market participants have stepped in to fill the gaps left by the baking sector, especially hedgefunds. This means that some of the roles previously carried out by banks are now carried out by hedgefunds, among which we can highlight the provision of liquidity for certain segments of the European Government Bond market. However, these changes have evolved naturally in the market, without a specific direction provided by market regulators and supervisors. | Yes |

Moreover, according to anecdotal evidence, some end-investors also transact with non-GEMM banks and/or brokers. However, any non-GEMM entity acting in this way has no formal agreement with the DMO and, therefore, no commitment to participate in our operations or make two-way prices in the secondary market. | Yes |

We have widened the maximum bid-ask spread of the price quotation. Since July 2022 Non-PD Market Makers can also participate on MTS Hungary, and they also have quoting obligations. (The first Non-PD Market Maker is planned to enter the platform in Q4 2022).

In addition, we created a new status: the Non-PD Market Maker, who has less rights and obligations than a PD, and whose main role is to provide liquidity on the secondary market.

| Since 2015 the aggregate the share of the domestic central bank has increased while the share of domestic real money investors (pension funds and insurers) has remained stable. The higher share from the central bank appears to have come at the costs of domestic banks and foreign holdings whose share has decreased. More recent developments are harder to analyze because we lack granular data |

| As yields rise, domestic investors are more interested in our Public Debt, especially in the 5 to 10 year segments. The Spanish domestic investor base has a strong banking sector, which is especially interested in the 5 to 10 year part of the curve. Spain doesn’t have a strong domestic pension fund and insurance community, which are generally interested in the longer part of the curve, so this demand is usually from non-resident investors. |

| All investors wish to maintain a level of liquidity in their portfolios. The two most liquid areas on the AGB curve are around the 10 year (and to a lesser extent the 3 year futures ) basket bonds. We retain very strong demand from investors for these bonds and hence these bonds remain easier points for the AOFM to launch new issues and tap current bond lines. We also manage the volume being issued into these bonds to assist in controlling the weighted average term to maturity of the portfolio. |

| Pension managers are the main investor in the Chilean securities. The amount of local-external debt contemplated in the annual issuance, is strongly influenced by the appetite coming from pension funds to buy the debt. In this regard, before to publish the auction calendar, we needed to do a check with the pension managers, in order to verify that the amount could be absorbed by the market. At the same time, for book building operations in CLP, it is critical to know if there is a good moment for foreign investors to participate. |

This helps us understand how the investor base is evolving and the changes in investors’ needs.

| Treasury provided information to the public about borrowing strategy, borrowing instruments, estimated annual debt services and borrowing amounts in Treasury Financing Program, which was published on October 2021. In this context, Treasury continue to issue various borrowing instruments, such as fixed-income TL-denominated securities, floating rate notes, Turkish Lira Overnight Reference Rate-indexed notes, inflation indexed securities, zero coupon securities, FX and gold denominated securities depending on the redemption profile and market conditions. On the other hand, in order to broaden the investor base and to diversify the borrowing instruments, Treasury also continues to develop new type of securities in accordance with market demand and investor structure. |

| As mentioned in the answer to question #19, Spain’s domestic investor base is more skewed towards the short and middle part of the yield curve. We have a strong banking sector with more interest in the 5-10 year part of the curve, but we don’t have such a strong pension and insurance sector which is generally more interested in the longer part of the curve.

Table A B.22. Q23 Have you observed changes in investor behaviour in the wake of rising market uncertainties in recent months? | |||
---|---|---|---|
Country | Yes/No | Please explain: | |
Australia | Yes |
| Rather than changes, investors have increased their wariness around interest moves in Australia. For most of 2022, investors have been cautious but with the removal of QE early in the year and the advent of RBA rate rises, this cautiousness has increased. It manifests itself mainly in investors being underweight benchmarks and holding greater AUD cash positions. Outright trading is short term, and tends to focus on relative value trades, such as AGB curve movements and spreads to swaps and futures. |
Austria | Yes |
| More “Real money” investors due to higher yields. |
Belgium | Yes |
| Activity is very concentrated on the 5yr, 10yr and 30yr benchmarks |
Brazil | Yes |
| In recent months we have seen volatility in financial markets. Many factors contributed to that, such as global inflation risks, geopolitical issues, restrictive monetary policy in major economies throughout the world and worries regarding global recession. In the domestic market we have seen volatility related to proximity of elections and political uncertainties. The volatility and the interest rate dynamics made investors averse of longer maturities during the first semester of 2022. We issued below average volumes of longer bonds during the months of January and February. In March and April we had reduced total issuance volumes, mainly due to decrease in demand for floating rate bonds. |
Bulgaria | Yes |
| Due to the high volatility in the European and global markets, which is reflected in the Republic of Bulgaria, the investor base is turning to shorter-term government securities. |

| The volatility has played a relevant role in the functioning of the market and has discouraged some Investors to add exposure. |
Romania | Yes |
| Investor behavior is risk driven in the recent months and we have experienced an overall decrease in the demand for our government bonds (both domestic and external) due to this risk aversion caused mainly by the global inflation and cost of living crisis, energy crisis and the geopolitical situation related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. |

Switzerland | Yes |
| The demand for ultra-long maturities has increased in the last few months, this trend held even in times when yields were decreasing and the yield curve became inversed. At the same time, secondary market liquidity in the long end of our yield curve slightly decreased, as buy and hold investors took up a large part of our issuance volume. Overall, the changes have not limited us in our issuance program. |

Table A B.24. Q25 Have you observed an increase in duration risk appetite over the last 12 months? | |||
---|---|---|---|
| Comments | Yes | No |
Australia | Rather than changes, investors have increased their wariness around interest moves in Australia. For most of 2022, investors have been cautious but with the removal of QE early in the year and the advent of RBA rate rises, this cautiousness has increased. It manifests itself mainly in investors being underweight benchmarks and holding greater AUD cash positions. Outright trading is short term, and tends to focus on relative value trades, such as AGB curve movements and spreads to swaps and futures. |
| No |
Austria | More “Real money” investors due to higher yields. |
| No |
Belgium | Activity is very concentrated on the 5yr, 10yr and 30yr benchmarks |
| No |
Brazil | In recent months we have seen volatility in financial markets. Many factors contributed to that, such as global inflation risks, geopolitical issues, restrictive monetary policy in major economies throughout the world and worries regarding global recession. In the domestic market we have seen volatility related to proximity of elections and political uncertainties. The volatility and the interest rate dynamics made investors averse of longer maturities during the first semester of 2022. We issued below average volumes of longer bonds during the months of January and February. In March and April we had reduced total issuance volumes, mainly due to decrease in demand for floating rate bonds. | Yes |
|

Mexico (Local) | Internal market debt / External market debt In recent months, given the rise in the interest rates by most of the central banks around the world and an increase in uncertainty about recession in the next months, there has been a decrease of investor´s appetite for duration. |
| No |
|
|
|
|
Netherlands | Don’t have a lot of information about investor behavior on the secondary market so not enough information to provide a decent answer here |
| No |
New Zealand |
|
| No |
Norway | Not to a large extent |
| No |
Poland | Rising inflation, monetary policy tightening, fears of economic slowdown and geopolitical risks had negative influence on investors risk appetite and thus the level of Treasury securities yields and market liquidity. |
| No |
Portugal | The volatility has played a relevant role in the functioning of the market and has discouraged some Investors to add exposure. |
| No |
Romania | Investor behavior is risk driven in the recent months and we have experienced an overall decrease in the demand for our government bonds (both domestic and external) due to this risk aversion caused mainly by the global inflation and cost of living crisis, energy crisis and the geopolitical situation related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. |
| No |
Slovak Republic | Investors are more cautious before placing bids in auctions. |
| No |
Slovenia |
|
| No |
Spain | Overall the variety of global risks, such as geopolitical tensions, rising inflation, possible gas and energy shortages, among others, have led to increased volatility in markets, more uncertainty and a lower risk-appetite from investors. |
| No |
Sweden |
|
| No |
Switzerland | The demand for ultra-long maturities has increased in the last few months, this trend held even in times when yields were decreasing and the yield curve became inversed. At the same time, secondary market liquidity in the long end of our yield curve slightly decreased, as buy and hold investors took up a large part of our issuance volume. Overall, the changes have not limited us in our issuance program. | Yes |
|
Türkiye | Due to Covid-19 effects on domestic as well as global economies and global political climate, markets and investors are affected by the uncertainties on production and prices. | Yes |
|
UK | Investor demand has shifted focus lower down the curve. |
| No |
Table A B.25. Q26 Please describe the behaviour of non-resident investors during recent stressed periods (e.g., February 2022). | |
---|---|
Country | Comments |
Australia | Although non-resident investors still seem to retain a high degree of confidence in the AUD & AGB markets exemplified by the limited structural change in investor composition, under period of stress their behaviors do change. Generally this is typified by selling and a return to a investors home market a reduction in benchmark holdings and/or duration and often less trading. |
Austria | Overall the share of non-domestic investors decreased slightly in the past months. |
Belgium |
|
Brazil | We saw a decrease in the non-resident demand for government bonds given the greater risk aversion in the international market combined with uncertainty around the electoral scenario internally. |
Bulgaria | After June 2022, we observe a decrease in the value of local currency government securities held by non-residents. Meanwhile, on 15 September the Ministry of Finance placed on the international capital markets EUR-denominated bonds in two tranches totaling EUR 2.25 billion. The first tranche is a 7-year tranche with an amount of EUR 1.5 billion and a coupon of 4.125%. The second tranche has a tenor of 12 years, its amount is EUR 0.75 billion and its coupon is 4.625%. |
Canada | Non-residents were slightly less active, conservative, yet still present and more opportunistic during this period. |
Chile | In general, the appetite was less, although it has recovered during the last months, but mostly in the short terms. |
Colombia | In recent stressed periods (e.g. February 2022), Non-resident investors increased the demand for local bonds. |
Costa Rica | We believe the behavior is the same. |
Croatia | Lower investor demand |
Czech Republic | There has been no significant outflow; the share of non-resident holders remains stable. |
Denmark | Nothing specific. |
Estonia | No information. |
Finland |
|
France | No specific change reported by PDs |
Germany |
|
Greece |
|
Hungary | After February 2022, in the first few months of the war in Ukraine, we haven’t seen any significant, systematic outflows from non-resident investors. In fact, their auction demand has remained high. |
Iceland |
|
Ireland | No observable difference. |
Israel | Increased demand for shorter bonds. |
Italy | Considering recent market developments, in the past months the share in total marketable Central Government securities held by non-resident investors decreased at a steady rate. |
Japan | In early February 2022, global interest rates increased as foreign central banks tightened their monetary policies, and JGBs, especially long-term, were sold. From mid-February, under a global risk-off sentiment after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, JGBs were bought again. |
Korea | Foreign investment shows constant net inflows |
Republic of Latvia | Non-residents have become slightly cautious, but the demand in auctions reflects still good interest for Latvia government securities. |
Lithuania | They sold off our bonds |
Luxembourg |
|
Mexico (Local) | Internal market debt During recent periods of stress (e.g. in February of this year), we have seen a decrease in non-resident holdings of nominal rate instruments, while holdings of real rate instruments have increased. In February of this year, we observed a monthly increase of 9.74% in holdings of inflation-linked bonds and a monthly decrease of 1.29% in holdings of fixed rate bonds. |
Mexico (External) |
|
Netherlands | We do not have enough data to monitor this behaviour |
New Zealand | Offshore investors increased their holdings of New Zealand Government Bonds in February 2022. |
Norway | Non-resident investors have held a stable ownership share of Norwegian government bonds through 2022. We have not seen large movements in this in relation to specific events. |
Poland | Despite market uncertainty, non-residents holdings were gradually rising in 2022. In our opinion it was the result of significant yield increase. |
Portugal | When Ukrainian and Russian tensions started between February and March investors held their positions with a very small increase in net buying. However, in the next couple of months they increased their net buying significantly. |
Romania | The demand expressed by non-residents was greatly reduced as there were also exits from the remitted bonds. With the increase in yields in August, an increased demand from non-residents was observed |
Slovak Republic | The demand in regular auctions is less stable than from domestic investors. |
Slovenia | We have not noticed any significant deviations in behavior of eurozone investors in Slovenia bonds during the first half of 2022. |
Spain | Overall non-resident investor holdings have stayed relatively stable during 2022, not reacting to any specific stress periods. We have seen a slight decrease in their share of our holdings in 2022, falling from around 42,9% to the current 41,5%. However, this is only a slight decrease, and doesn’t correspond to any specific stress periods. For example, there was hardly any change in non-resident holdings of Spanish Public Debt during the month of February, mentioned in the question. This shows that non-resident investors in Spanish Public Debt have not have strong reactions during stress periods. |
Sweden | Some non-resident investors has expressed their views about market liquidity more frequent |
Switzerland | Despite the high volatility and uncertainty regarding monetary policy and economic activity, there was an increase in duration risk appetite. We tapped most of our ultra-long maturities in the last few auctions and received large amount of bids. The amount was much larger than the total bids received for shorter maturities that we tapped on the same auction dates. At the same time, longer dated bonds got even more expansive in relation to swap rates than shorter maturities. Non-resident investors are only a minor part of our investor base. As they invest much more opportunistically than our domestic investors, this is not concerning to us. |
Türkiye | Due to the ongoing global volatility, we have experienced that investors have become more cautious when it comes make investment decisions. new issuance premium levels are elevated compared to 2021. Decrease in secondary market trading in domestic market. |
UK | Non-resident investors have traditionally been active and continued to be active during recent stressed periods in the short-end of the conventional yield curve |
