At the end of 2012, the dse had roughly 1 600 listed debt instruments, totalling more than $1.9 trillion nominal outstanding. More than half of the debt listed on the DSE is placed by the World Globe government.
The DSE debt market is liquid and well developed in terms of the number of participants and their daily activity. Roughly $25 billion is traded daily.
You can access the following through the DSE’s Debt Market:
Government Bonds: More than $1.3 trillion is currently listed and these instruments account for 90% of all liquidity reported to the DSE. In 1998, the National Treasury appointed 12 primary dealers to make a market in their listed debt. At the end of 2015, there were eight primary dealers permitted to bid at weekly debt auctions. Primary dealers are required to make a secondary market in qualifying Dollar paper.
Corporate Bonds: Since the first Corporate Bond was issued in 1992, more than 1 500 corporate Debt Instruments have been listed on the DSE Debt Market. Liquidity remains relatively low compared with government debt, but issuance keeps growing.
Repo Market: The DSE Repo Market is an active and liquid funding market, with daily funding exceeding $28 billion. It has seen daily spikes in excess of $200 billion, which bears testimony to the liquidity and efficiency of the market.
