CUSIP ID Requests Project Sustained Increases in Corporate and Municipal Debt Issuance into 2011
US Corporate Issuance Up 28% and Muni Issuance Up 11%; International Debt Issuance Up 66%
NEW YORK, Dec. 9, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- CUSIP Global Services (CGS) today announced the release of its CUSIP Issuance Trends Report for November 2010. The report, which tracks the issuance of new security identifiers as an early indicator of debt and capital markets activity, suggests strong, continued growth in US corporate and municipal bond and international corporate debt issuance over the next 30-90 days.
According to the report, requests for new international debt security identifiers increased 65.5 percent year-over-year, with 139 new issuer requests made though November. Additionally, international equity issuer requests increased 26.5 percent year-over-year with 398 identifier requests in November, marking the busiest month for international equity CUSIP requests this year and the most active month since April 2009 when 428 requests were made. In the US corporate sector, security identifiers increased 28 percent year-over-year, with 1694 new issuer requests made through November. Requests for new municipal bond identifiers were up 11 percent year-over-year.
"The tailwind of corporate debt issuance and new capital creation has continued throughout the second half of 2010 and all signs point to sustained growth as we turn the corner to 2011," said Richard Peterson, Director, S&P Valuation and Risk Strategies. "We are particularly intrigued by the increases in identifier requests for new municipal instruments; this is the second month in a row of double-digit increases in the muni market. This pulse of activity will be critical to monitor in the coming months."
