Global bond issuance set to grow at slowest pace in five years in 2027, S&P says

Global bond issuance is expected to rise by a mere 2.7% in 2027, marking a stark decline compared to this year's growth, according to S&P Global Ratings.
The ratings firm points to increasing interest rates and geopolitical tensions as the forces behind the slowdown.
That cooling comes against a backdrop of heavy funding needs. With both governments and firms facing heightened funding needs, borrowing appetites may wane, S&P Global Ratings said.
For investors, the combination points to a market where supply grows more slowly but demand for funds stays high, a mix that could keep pressure on yields and on the pricing of new deals.
