International financial markets

Article Abstract:

Aggregate financial activity on international capital markets was higher in the first four months of 1995 than in the same period in 1994. Major market segments such as bonds, equities, syndicated loans and other borrowing facilities, however, showed mixed trends. For instance, a slump in issuance activity in the international and foreign bond markets was noted during the period. This was also true for equities, as placements totaled a measly $7 billion. Syndicated loans outstripped euro-bonds, and prospects for this market segment appear bright. The medium-term euro-note program also posted a remarkable $70 billion for the period.
