Global Debt Report 2024
Bond Markets in a High-Debt Environment
The Global Debt Report examines sovereign and corporate debt markets, providing insights
into current market conditions and associated policy considerations, including possible
financial stability risks. This first edition consolidates the Sovereign Borrowing
Outlook, previously a separate OECD publication, and introduces new chapters on corporate
bond markets and sustainable bonds.
Chapter 1 provides an overview of sovereign borrowing globally and an outlook for
OECD countries, with a focus on the impact of recent developments in funding conditions
and changes to the investor base. Chapter 2 explores global corporate bond market
dynamics, build-up of risks and vulnerabilities and the impact of a changing macrofinancial
landscape. Chapter 3 looks at trends in global sustainable bond markets and discusses
policy considerations such as the sustainability premium, the roles of service providers
and market liquidity.
